The Asake concert crush: What happened?

A timeline of what happened at the Brixton crush which led to the deaths of two people.

What led to two people dying at an Asake gig in south London? Many details remain unclear, but with the help of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ correspondent Greg McKenzie and witness accounts - we’ve pieced together what we do know. Mike Kill from the Night Time Industries Association also drops in with advice on what you can do to try to protect yourself in a dangerous crowd.

And it’s Christmas time… but the latest census revealed that less than half of the population now describe themself as Christian. So we hear from former Christian Gilly, who tells us how he’s celebrating it, and Rufaro, a pastor, who shares a Christmas message.
