A terrorist attack on Yom Kippur

A terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester has left two people dead and several others fighting for their lives on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

The prime minister has cut short his trip to Denmark to chair Cobra - as police investigate whether the perpetrator was known to security. Manchester is sadly once again coming together to reject hatred in the aftermath of appalling violence.

Andy Hughes, presenter of The Crime Agents podcast, talks through the police response and the changing nature of terrorism in the UK.

Later, David Yelland, former editor of The Sun, speaks to Jon and Emily about why some instinctively leap to sowing divisiveness in the aftermath of these events and how to confront it.

We discuss the political - and personal significance - of a terror attack on Yom Kippur.
