The World Tonight

Available for over a year

A High Court judge has upheld a bid by Epping Forest District Council to block the use of a local hostel to house asylum seekers. An 11th-hour bid by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to get the case dismissed was refused by the judge. Also on the programme: we hear from two brothers caught up in America’s crackdown on irregular migration; and the first victim of the Horizon IT scandal to return to work at their former Post Office.
