Manchester Arena Bombing

On 22 May 2017 hundreds of children excitedly entered the Manchester Arena to watch popstar, Ariana Grande. Sadly, 22 never made it out of the concert hall alive, after suicide bomber Salam Abedi detonated a shrapnel-laden device.

As his accomplice and brother, Hashem Abedi starts his 55 year jail term, presenter Kate Gerbeau speaks with Figen Murray the mother of one victim, Martyn Hett, and the Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham about the atrocity that changed a city.

Personal Injury lawyer, Shane Smith and security journalist, Duncan Gardham, also look ahead at what the pending public inquiry could mean for victims’ families and for national security across the country.
