Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News Channel HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Parliament

Stephen Sackur speaks to Julie Hambleton, founder of Justice for the 21. In November 1974 the IRA bombed two pubs in Birmingham and murdered 21 people. More than 44 years later the inquest into those deaths was reopened, attended by the families of the victims, including Julie Hambleton, who lost her sister Maxine. During the hearings one witness, a convicted former IRA man, named four alleged perpetrators, but justice in this terrible case has never been done. Is it now too late to get to the truth? Show less
