Racism

The North Wales Deputy Chief Constable said he felt physically sick watching the BBC documentary which exposed racism among police recruits. We examined whether the training enables forces to root out racists before they get onto the streets.

Drugs in sport

British medal winning sprinter, Dwain Chambers, tested positive for a banned steroid, understood to be THG - a substance undetectable before a recent technical advance. It has been suggested that a number of other world class athletes have also tested positive. What effect will this have on the credibility of anti-doping policies?

Access to children

And are the courts failing in their duty to ensure non-resident parents, usually fathers, get adequate access to their children after relationship breakdown? Campaigners claim the law just isn't working - we put the evidence of that to the Government minister in charge of family law.
