Acid attacks, the increase in use of foodbanks, and ethnic minorities in British film.

The programme has been given exclusive access to the biggest burns unit in Europe - in Essex - which treats victims of acid attacks.

This programme has learned that 500 people in England have been hospitalised in the past five years after an acid attack. We have been given exclusive access to the biggest burns unit in Europe - in Essex - which treats victims of acid attacks.

Five have been arrested after images of a cardboard model of  Grenfell Tower being burned on a bonfire were shared on social media.
 
Britain's biggest foodbank charity says it has given out 658,000 food parcels in the last six months, a 13% rise year on year. Foodbank workers say the rise is attributed to problems with Universal Credit.

And we talk to one of the stars of Kidulthood about why he backs a plan to use tax breaks to try to get more people from a minority ethnic background working behind the scenes in the British film industry.
