FBI: New Orleans attacker acted alone

The FBI has changed its assessment of the attacker, saying it now believes he acted alone

The FBI says it now believes that Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who carried out Wednesday's deadly attack in New Orleans, was working alone. We speak to Peter Neumann, an expert on radicalisation, and hear from the high school principal of one of the victims of the attack.

Also on the programme: opposition parties in Scotland are calling for a big increase in funding for treatment services after it emerged that more than 1,500 drug-addicted babies have been born in recent years; and we speak to Britain鈥檚 last certified repairer of the Perkins brailler - a typewriter still used for teaching blind children to read and write.
