Why has UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham paused plans to release some prisoners early? BBC Newscast
Today, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced ‘no prisoners will be let out’ under early release scheme until he has conducted an ‘urgent review’.
The announcement comes after the widow of PC Andrew Harper described the possible early release of prisoners as ‘deplorable’, following reports that two of his killers could be freed early. Adam is joined by Dominic Casciani, home and legal correspondent, to discuss what this means for the prison system.
Plus, in his third policy announcement in as many days, Andy Burnham announced a 20% cut to business rates for pubs, clubs and live music venues in England from April. Director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies Helen Miller and BBC Business Editor Simon Jack join Adam to discuss how the government plans to fund this cut and how ever-changing taxes affect business owners.

Last week, Israel held a pivotal general election – the first since the deadly Hamas-led attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023 and the wars that followed in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the opposition bloc – led by Gadi Eisenkot – are in near deadlock. Now comes a period of political deal-making to form a coalition government.
The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent Lucy Williamson spoke to voters in the lead up to the vote to see what influenced their vote.

Scientists have picked up signals from the smallest scale of nature ever explored – 100 billion times smaller than an atom.
It’s a world so small that some physicists have nicknamed it the zeptoverse.
The research was obtained from an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, and could help researchers develop a new, more complete theory of how the Universe works.
It was led by scientists based in Cambridge, who told the BBC funding withdrawals from the UK meant the country’s full involvement in the research could be in doubt.
