The lessons of Hillsborough

It took 27 years, but we got there in the end. The cover-up was finally uncovered.

Within minutes of people starting to die at Hillsborough, a campaign of lies and dissimulation began. It's taken 27 years and millions of pounds to expose it once and for all. Peter Marshall - who was at the ground on the fateful day when 96 Liverpool supporters lost their lives - on what Hillsborough has to teach us. Also in this programme/podcast: the words may be friendly in South Sudan, but the feelings certainly aren't; protests intensify against the government of Venezuela while electricity and the economy disappear; and why IS may have made a big mistake in setting itself up as a state.
