Iraq
As violence continued in the Iraqi capital, we talked to Douglas Feith, Head of Policy at the Pentagon and a close advisor to Donald Rumsfeld, about the security situation in Baghdad and the fiasco over pre-war intelligence.

Exclusive footage of Saddam
We brought you exclusive access to the private life of the Saddam regime, with unseen footage of the former president relaxing in opulence with his family and shocking images of what went on behind the closed doors of his security police.

Shipman inquiry
And the inquiry into the murders committed by the former GP, Harold Shipman, has found that the lives of three victims could have been saved had the original police investigation been conducted properly. We discussed whether the lessons have been learnt with a member of the Greater Manchester Police.
