Why is the UK government trying to scrap juries for some trials? | BBC Newscast
Today, the UK’s secretary of state for justice David Lammy has confirmed plans to get rid of jury trials for crimes with sentences of less than three years.
The reforms to the justice system include creating “swift courts” under the government’s plan to tackle unprecedented delays in the court system. Serious offences including murder, robbery and rape will still go before a jury. Lammy has said the reforms were “bold” but “necessary”. Adam is joined by home and legal correspondent Dominic Casciani.
And, amidst all the noise around last week’s budget you may have missed the prime minister’s suggestion that he will accept all the recomendations made in a report that criticised the UK’s nuclear power industry as expensive and “overly complex”.
The man who wrote it, John Fingleton, tells Adam about what he found and what he thinks it tells us about the UK’s approach to regulation.

Some self-described infant sleep experts are giving advice that could put babies at risk of serious harm and even death, medical professionals have told a BBC investigation.
We secretly filmed one of them advising our reporter to put a newborn to sleep on its front, a practice proven to significantly increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, (Sids).
The NHS advises to “always place your baby on their back to sleep” in their own sleep space, like a cot, for the first 12 months to reduce the risk of Sids. The mattress should be firm, flat and waterproof.
A second self-defined expert recommended placing towels in the infant’s cot – a practice The Lullaby Trust, a baby safety charity, says also increases the risk of Sids and “accidental death”.
Medical professionals who watched our undercover footage said moments had left them feeling “sick” and “horrified”.
