World at One

Available for 29 days

Shock in the local community and anger online as a Sudanese man is arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. We'll hear from the scene and from the local MP, as attention once again turns to an act of violence on the streets of the UK. Also on the programme, worrying levels of violence and "rife" drug use at HMP Woodhill, a Milton Keynes prison. The Chief Inspector of Prisons, Charlie Taylor, tells us that staff shortages are to blame. And, low tickets sales and travel restrictions cause controversy in the countdown to the football World Cup. We'll hear the latest, days before the tournament kicks off.
