Clemency Burton-Hill and Nat Coombs join Kate Silverton. Includes reaction to Agassi's crystal meth admission, hate crimes and John O'Farrell on the last 60 years of history.

Clemency Burton-Hill and Nat Coombs join Kate Silverton to analyse the week's big stories.

After Andre Agassi's admission that he'd done crystal meth, we ask why some people feel the need to tell others everything.

Following the homophobic attack on a trainee policeman, we ask why people turn against people whose only crime is being different from them and talk to a man who was the victim of a stabbing that left him too scared to leave his house for months.

And John O'Farrell, author and former speechwriter to Tony Blair, explains why the last sixty years of history are simply a case of people making the same old mistakes.
