Campaigning widows01 Apr 2004
Samantha Roberts' husband of 18 months was killed in Iraq days after he was ordered to give up his body armour. Jayne Zito's husband of 6 weeks was stabbed at a London Tube station by a man suffering from severe mental illness.

Both of these women have since campaigned fiercely for change, taking on both government and ministers without batting an eye.

Jenni is joined by Samantha Roberts and Jayne Zito to discuss what a force to be reckoned with a battling widow can be.
