Transgender Teenager Killed, Racist Riot Outside Asylum Seeker Hotel

The shocking killing of Brianna Ghey has put a spotlight on transphobia in Britain. We speak to journalist Ugla Stefania about the significance of the tragedy, and the hostile environment transgender people face.

Plus: a racist riot takes place outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Knowsley; and we speak to Academic Cihan Tugal about how the Earthquake in Turkey has shone a spotlight on poor building practices in the country.

With Michael Walker and Sam Bright.
