In 1986 two nine year old girls were murdered in woods near Brighton. The crime became known as the Babes in the Woods murders. It took 32 years for the man who abducted, sexually assaulted and killed them to be found guilty. His name was Russell Bishop and he was known to the families of both girls. A new book about the murders has been published today, based on interviews and court transcripts. We talk to Sue Eismann, the mother of Nicola, one of the little girls.

To discuss the importance of parental leave policy transparency, Jenni Murray is joined by Jo Swinson, Liberal Democrat MP, and by writer and journalist Deborah Hargreaves.
