How will the Sarah Everard Inquiry be held and will it be enough?

Home Secretary Priti Patel's announced a major new inquiry into the murder of Sarah Everard.

But critics are concerned the probe will not be statutory, meaning witnesses can't be compelled to give evidence. We speak to Anna Birley, a co-founder of the #ReclaimTheseStreets campaign, which was set up in the wake of Sarah's murder. She tells us why she's concerned the inquiry will not be the line in the sand women like here have been promised.
