Laura Kuenssberg

We'll talk about all of that, these sensitive issues, on Saturday's edition of Newscast.

Newscast.

Newscast from the BBC.

Humanity's next great voyage begins.

We are in the midst of a rupture.

It's Laura in the studio.

Now, Paddy isn't with us this weekend, as you will have noticed.

Bereft as I am, I'm pleased to say on this Saturday newscast we're recording at 24 minutes past one.

I'm joined by Danny Shaw, formerly of This Parish, BBC and legal and home affairs correspondent for a long time.

And then, Danny, you were part of the team that prepared Yvette Cooper to move into government as Home Secretary.

And now you are super brain on all things crime and policing.

Is that fair?

Well, it's very nice to have you here because this is a sensitive issue and newscasters like facts and like insights.

And there are very inflammatory ways of talking about this whole debate.

And what we're going to try and do with the benefit of you this afternoon is to step through some of what we know and some of them what we don't know and maybe place it in the context of these issues around policing and race that have been fraught for many, many, many years.

First of all, then, we've got this extraordinary online post from JD Vance late last night.

Downing Street, very unhappy about what he said.

I just wonder what you made of that, seeing it online pop up late last night or early this morning whenever you saw it.

Let's then talk about the facts and forget about the politics for a bit.

So this awful case has led to a reheat with more heat, if you like, over this question of two-tier policing.
