| Summary/Abstract |
The inquests into the 7 July 2005 London transport bombings began on 11 October 2010. Evaluating huge amounts of evidence, the coroner and her team will seek answers for survivors and relatives. They will also scrutinise the actions of the British security services in the months and weeks leading up to the attacks, asking whether the terrorists could have been stopped and the victims saved.

| Summary/Abstract |
In one sense, the London Olympic Games are already under attack: dozens of suspected fraudsters were arrested as tickets went on sale on 15 March 2011. But there are other major risks identified, including terrorism. Now, as construction of the venues nears completion and security plans move towards the operational stage, Margaret Gilmore interviews the key players in the efforts to secure the event, and assesses the risks to the Games and the security arrangements being put in place to counter them.

| Summary/Abstract |
In mid-November 2012, elections will be held in each police force area in England and
Wales, apart from London, for the post of police and crime commissioner. Senior police
officers suggest it will be the biggest shake-up since the first police force was established
by Sir Robert Peel in the early nineteenth century. The government believes the new PCCs
will empower local communities to decide policing priorities in their areas; critics fear
the move is politicising policing and may prove detrimental to national policing needs.
Margaret Gilmore investigates the challenges and the likely impact of this new approach

| Summary/Abstract |
The attack on the Tigantourine gas facility near In Amenas in Algeria highlights the shifting nature of the terrorist threat to the national security of the UK and its interests abroad. It is a sign that the threat, while still very strong in parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan, is growing in North Africa. However, this does not necessarily mean that North Africa will be where the most significant threat can be found in future, or where extra resources should be allocated now. Using current interviews and historical evidence, Margaret Gilmore investigates where the counter-terrorism challenges of the next five years might come from.

| Summary/Abstract |
The recent terrorist murders of two soldiers and a police officer in Northern Ireland brought a harsh reminder that the peace process is not infallible. But the response to the killings showed unprecedented unity. Margaret Gilmore investigates the fallout from the murders, and in an interview with the chief constable examines whether the increase in dissident republican violence poses a threat to lasting peace.

| Summary/Abstract |
A year ago, policing in England and Wales underwent a monumental change with the first direct elections of police and crime commissioners (PCCs). Yet the establishment of this new post and the roles and responsibilities of these newly elected officials were little understood by voters at the time and turn-out was extremely low. A year on, Margaret Gilmore looks at how the new PCCs fared in their first year and analyses a YouGov poll on how the public's perceptions have changed now that PCCs are a reality.

| Summary/Abstract |
Most people disapprove of the fact that candidates for the position of police and crime commissioner may be sponsored by a political party. A YouGov-Cambridge/RUSI poll has found that 61 per cent of participants disapproved compared with only 11 per cent who approved. The poll found that nearly half of those eligible to vote for a PCC believe the commissioners will make no difference in the fight against crime, and 45 per cent believe some force areas will have worse policing than others as a result; just one in ten people disagree. When asked if having local PCCs will make the policing of national issues like security and terrorism worse, only a quarter disagreed. Margaret Gilmore analyses the findings.

| Summary/Abstract |
With an evolving and increasingly integrated range of domestic threats, reform of the UK police is long overdue. Margaret Gilmore investigates calls for a smaller number of larger forces, and examines the status of the Association of Chief Police Officers - an increasingly influential private company, which its own senior officers believe would benefit from more independent oversight

| Summary/Abstract |
The UK Border Agency, recently beleaguered with problems and criticisms over failures of immigration control, was split in two at the beginning of March, only months before the London 2012 Olympics. Margaret Gilmore explores how the Games present the newly separated UK Border Force with the most sophisticated and complex challenge to date.
