Today it’s been revealed that “human errors” led to some grooming gang police investigations being dropped, in the first stage of a massive review of cases involving child sexual abuse. The development came after a Standard investigation uncovered cases of vulnerable young girls from across London who reported allegations of rape from multiple men but saw inadequate police action.


Thousands of cases of rape and sexual assault are being reviewed as part of the National Crime Agency’s Operation Beaconport, which has been designed to rectify police failures to tackle grooming gangs. The Standard’s Chief Political Correspondent Rachael Burford is here with the latest.


And in part two, The Standard’s Chief Theatre Critic and host of the London Theatre Review podcast, Nick Curtis, joins us to review the new production of Othello at the capital’s Theatre Royal Haymarket.
