How were two more prisoners wrongly released?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Two prisoners have been wrongly released from the same London prison. We ask a former head of security at HMP Wandsworth how two of its inmates could have been mistakenly freed - and the Labour chair of the Justice Committee about whether the government should take responsibility. One year after his re-election Donald Trump has wished himself a happy anniversary, but Americans have sent a different message in local and state elections. After big wins for his opponents - how big a setback is it for the US President? And as the government announces a new national forest - how do you create a good one?
