The NHS and the Government “closed ranks” and took part in a “chilling” cover-up of the infected blood scandal that has claimed more than 3,000 lives, the five-year public inquiry chaired by Sir Brian Langstaff has concluded.

Kamal Ahmed and Camilla Tominey are joined by Cara McGoogan, who has spent years covering the scandal as presenter of Bed of Lies and author of The Poison Line, to discuss the significance of his findings.

They also hear from Jason Evans, who lost his own father to the scandal at just four years old.

Plus, senior foreign correspondent Roland Oliphant explains the Iranian president’s death, and Camilla and Kamal ask - should cyclists have licence plates?
