## Resource

PM tells BBC that those convicted of unlawful killing won't be eligible for early release. We have reaction from a former Conservative Justice Secretary who himself introduced some early release. Plus, a warning from the man Andy Burnham tried to recruit as a Treasury minister: don't apply a wealth tax but DO scrap the triple lock on pensions. Also on BH, we hear a call to name our favourite hymns amid fears fewer of us are belting them out. Women spend much longer than men queueing for public toilets - do we need to re-think our approach to public loos? And, we go live to Cape Canaveral ahead of the launch of the new Grace Roman space telescope. The headliners are Rory Sutherland, Ava Glass and Lizzy Buchan.
