Tributes pour in for murdered British MP

Tributes are being paid to David Amess, stabbed to death in his constituency.

Tributes are being paid to a British member of parliament, David Amess, after he was stabbed to death while meeting constituents. Police say his murder has been declared a terrorist incident.

Also, an unlikely bond between two mothers, one who lost her daughter to drugs, and the other whose teenager supplied the substance that killed her.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Tom Rivers, a foreign correspondent for ABC News Radio in London, and Shrabani Basu, Indian journalist, author, and historian.
