The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ recently reported that they'd tracked down Twana Jamal, one of the most prolific people smugglers in recent history - who had previously been arrested in France but was living and working in the UK. The investigation was carried out by journalists Sue Mitchell and Rob Lawrie for Radio 4's Intrigue series To Catch a King, and they found Jamal ahead of the police or the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Office. This sparked a question from a listener - about how journalists interact with authorities to uncover serious crimes. Presenter Andrea Catherwood sits down with journalist Sam Poling, whose own work on Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ documentary and podcast Who Killed Emma led to an arrest and later a conviction, to ask how it works. We also return to the subject of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ cuts. We'll hear more of your thoughts and from an expert on the topic of the cuts and charter renewal. Dr Tom Chivers from Goldsmiths, University of London, gives his views on how much the cuts will affect the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's relationship with the public as the corporation prepares for a new chapter. Presenter: Andrea Catherwood Producer: Pauline Moore Assistant Producer: Rebecca Guthrie Executive Producer: David Prest A Whistledown Scotland production for Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Radio 4
