Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three children in Massachusetts in 2023, collapsed when the judge declared a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict following seven days of deliberations. The jury was split 11 to 1, and the defence argued that Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis. The case has drawn significant public attention, with President Donald Trump commenting on the mistrial, and the prospect of a retrial remains uncertain, with a hearing scheduled for late September. The trial has also highlighted issues around postpartum psychosis and maternal mental health.
At the Reform UK conference in Birmingham, Nigel Farage gave a keynote speech in which he strongly denied allegations that his party broke political donation rules, following an undercover report by Channel 4. He insisted the party had done nothing wrong and taken no illegal money, but two senior aides, Dan Jukes and James Orr, stepped down. The speech was delayed by security concerns and interrupted by hecklers. The Liberal Democrats have written to the parliamentary commissioner for standards raising concerns about Farage's conduct, and the party faces ongoing questions over its handling of the allegations.

I think the full impact of that has not properly been explored or understood. Suzy? Yeah, and I think the fact that the state has pushed for murder charges and a jury, three years on as well, but a jury has been unable to really convict anybody on that basis, shows that the level of intent and the amount of justification you need for that

that has on someone's mind for all kinds of other situations. And I think it's huge ramifications there, and I think as well that it's a very hidden part of women's health that has not been studied or talked about and is still very much under a cloak of secrecy. OK. Well, our US correspondent, David Blevins,

You didn't do it forcefully, and I'm asking that you do it forcefully. What do you want me to do? I want you to get a brass band. I read the instruction as written by the SJC.

and it looks like it's a hung jury, and I think the judge just said it's going to be a mistrial. I assume there's going to be another trial. It's a terrible situation. Look, she did a horrible, horrible thing. It can't be worse, but you'll find out what the price to pay is. There'll be a price. It's going to be mental institution or jail or something,
