Victims' group withdraws from sex abuse inquiry

The largest victims' group in the independent inquiry into historical child sex abuse has left the process, calling it an "unpalatable circus".
The Shirley Oaks Survivors Association, which represents 600 victims who lived in children's homes run by Lambeth Council, said it had lost confidence in the inquiry's leadership.
Victoria Derbyshire presenter Joanna Gosling looked at the background to the inquiry and spoke to Raymond Stevenson, chair of the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association, Pete Saunders, from the National Association of People Abused in Childhood and Diane Abbott, shadow home secretary and Labour MP.
