Did Elon Musk mislead the world about grooming in Oldham?

mercredi 15 janvier 2025 • Duration 30:18

Tweets by the world's richest man have ignited a furious controversy about CSE. Joshi Herrmann, the founder of The Mill, has been reporting on this story for years now.

Do we know what caused the police attack at Manchester Airport?

mercredi 31 juillet 2024 • Duration 16:08

Last week, a video emerged of a Greater Manchester Police officer forcefully kicking a prostate man in the head and kneeing him in the stomach at Manchester Airport. The story dominated national news coverage and triggered an investigation by the Independent Office of Police Conduct. But a lengthier video, released over the weekend, has fuelled further debate. It shows the run up to the confrontation, with a man attacking at least two police officers before he was tasered and restrained on the ground. Do we know the full story yet? And what does this story tell us about our instinct to create a simple narrative from chaotic events?

A warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence throughout.
