Today, we look at the government’s claim that it has cleared the backlog of older asylum cases.

The Home Secretary, James Cleverly, has said that “every single” legacy application has been processed, meeting one of Sunak’s pledges, but is that the case? To delve into the numbers, Adam is joined by Madeleine Sumption from The Migration Observatory, and Nick Eardley from BBC Verify.

And, after criticism following the suicide of head teacher Ruth Perry, Ofsted announced that inspectors will receive training around mental health at the start of this new term. Adam speaks to headteacher Calvin Henry and education editor Branwen Jeffreys about what the changes at Ofsted mean for education.
