The widow of former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko, believes a public inquiry will show evidence of Russia's involvement in his death. The former KGB spy died aged 43 from radiation poisoning in London in 2006. Marina Litvinenko tells Victoria that "secret material" about his death was held back at the inquest and would only surface with a public enquiry. She blames former KGB spy, Andrei Lugovoy, for the murder. He has always denied any involvement.
Plus, statistics and official figures are a key part of our lives - they measure our work, our hospitals, our schools. They decide how much is spent on different public services and judge how well that money is spent. But how much can we really rely on them? Victoria speaks to 91热爆 Affairs Editor, Mark Easton and to the director of Full Facts, an independent fact checking organisation.
