Phil Williams, in for Victoria, asks whether the British government should pay compensation to its citizens if they're injured in terror attacks abroad?

Phil Williams sits in for Victoria Derbyshire with original stories from across the UK.

Should the British government pay compensation to its citizens if they're injured in terror attacks abroad? We hear from the family of Helyn Bennett, killed in Turkey in 2005, who have just won a payout from the Turkish government. And from Will Pike, left in a wheelchair by the Mumbai terror attacks but who is unlikely to get any compensation from India.

Including reaction to the police watchdog's decision not to discipline police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes in 2005.

And is it time for a complete ban on mobiles in schools and nurseries? That's one suggestion after nursery worker Vanessa George admitted child sex offences but can anything make classrooms safer?
