The Kenosha shooter who killed two successfully pleads self defence

A US teenager who shot dead two men during racial unrest has been cleared of homicide and all other charges after claiming self-defence.

Plus, the French hardright journalist Eric Zemmour has risen significantly in recent opinion polls even though he has not officially said he is running for president.

And, in what is being called "the great resignation", due partly to the pandemic, as many as sixty-five per cent of employees are thinking about changing their jobs. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Lone Theils, a Danish writer, crime novelist and journalist, and Peter Hain, a member of the British House of Lords, and former UK government minister for the Labour Party.
