How Was The Migrant Sex Offender Mistakenly Released?

Today, we look at the rearrest of migrant sex offender Hadush Kebatu, and discuss what his mistaken release means for confidence in the government.

Kebatu had been mistakenly released on Friday from HMP Chelmsford, where he was serving a 12-month sentence for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl and a woman in Epping, Essex.

We also discuss an apology from Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, after she said: “it drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people”.

Labour cabinet minister Wes Streeting has called the comment racist. Pochin says “My comments were phrased poorly and I apologise for any offence caused, which was not my intention.”

And we look at Laura’s interview with Former US Vice-President Kamala Harris, in which said said she was 'concerned' she did not ask Biden to quit the presidential race.

Epping Sex Offender Arrested, But Has The Damage Been Done?

As promised, this is the full length interview that Laura Kuenssberg did with the former US Vice-President Kamala Harris.

Harris makes her strongest suggestion to date that she will make another presidential bid in 2028 after losing to Donald Trump last year.

She also said she believed predictions she made about Donald Trump behaving as a fascist and running an authoritarian government had come true. Something the White House has called ‘lies’.

And she’s questioned on whether her old running mate and former president, Joe Biden, dropped out of the race too late for her to have a chance at winning last year’s election.
