mercredi 6 novembre 2024 • Duration 27:16
We are in a new age of terror, with self-radicalising, hard-to-categorise individuals planning violence.

In this episode, listen to Lizzie in conversation with fellow journalist and writer Tam Hussein to discuss the changing face of modern terrorism, the common factors that led to the would-be attackers being stopped and what each one caught tells us about British society.
