The Metropolitan Police has urged the organisers of pro-Palestinian marches to call off their planned demonstration on Armistice Day. The home secretary, Suella Braverman, said there was a “risk of serious public disorder” if the marches went ahead.

To help understand the challenges and complexities of policing these events, Adam is joined by former Met detective superintendent Shabnam Chaudhri and the BBC’s home affairs correspondent, Dominic Casciani.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has described allegations that a Conservative MP committed multiple rapes as "very serious". Chris joins us to discuss what we know so far about the allegations, and what we can expect to hear in the king’s speech tomorrow.
