Lady Justice Thirlwall describes the Countess of Chester Hospital's 'complete failure' to follow safeguarding procedure. We speak to a key witness to the inquiry and the Chair of the Health Select Committee. Also, the US confirms for the first time that it has weapons in space. But what exactly are they? A former British General gives his take. And John Humphrys tells us why he thinks it's time to have a conversation about the monarchy's future.
