Abuse Inquiry: 'urgent action needed' to restore confidence

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Allegations of bullying and sexual assault at the headquarters of the national child abuse inquiry have not been taken seriously enough, according to the Home Affairs committee. We speak to its chair, Yvette Cooper. Also: Lord Mandelson on post-Brexit politics, including the return of Tony Blair to 'a significant behind the scenes role'. And the EU Commissioner for Finance, Pierre Moscovici, on the lessons the EU should draw from this tumultuous political year.
