A report from the first phase of the Inquiry into the Southport tragedy finds ‘catastrophic’ failures by agencies and killer’s parents ‘irresponsible’. We speak to one of the UK's leading authorities on children's services. Also on The World at One, the pro-Europe candidate Peter Maygar has ended the 16-year rule of nationalist President Victor Orban in Hungary. And, we'll discuss how President Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz might affect UK households.
