Is the UK prison overcrowding crisis Andy Burnham’s first big challenge?| BBC Newscast
Today, there has been more criticism from victims’ families over plans to release some prisoners early.
Under the policy, due to begin in October, thousands of prisoners will be eligible to be released part way through their sentences. Ministers announced last night that prisoners guilty of rape, serious child sex offences and grooming will be excluded. Adam is joined by home and legal affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani and Pia Sinha former prison governor and chief executive of the Prison Reform Trust.
And, after a humbling few days for President Trump is he able to reclaim the initiative before the US midterm elections? Adam is joined by Americast’s Anthony Zurcher.

PC Harper’s mother ‘devastated’ his killers set for early release despite revised plans | BBC News
The mother of PC Andrew Harper has told the BBC she is “devastated” two of his killers remain eligible for early release after the UK government revised plans to tackle overcrowding.
Prisoners who committed rape, grooming, and serious child sex offences will be excluded from the scheme for England and Wales, the government announced on Monday.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he “wanted to go even further”, but that would not be possible without the prison system collapsing and putting the public “at much greater risk”.
PC Harper, 28, was killed in 2019 when he was dragged by a car down a country road as three teenagers fled the scene of a quad bike theft in Berkshire.

A new fund is working to save 100 of the world’s most threatened species.
The Phoenix Species Project will put $200m (£149m) towards restoring animals in the wild and stopping them from going extinct. It’s one of the largest funds ever focused on species recovery.
The project is a collaboration between the Bezos Earth Fund and Re:wild – a non profit co-founded by actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
It comes at a time when conservationists have warned about a decline in global biodiversity, and just a few weeks after the Trump administration rolled back endangered species protections.
