The Independent highlights urgent issues in journalism and public safety, particularly following the tragic attack in Southport perpetrated by Axel Rudakubana. This young attacker had multiple referrals to the UK's Prevent programme, yet he still managed to carry out his act of violence, resulting in the deaths of three young girls. In response, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced a public inquiry to investigate how the Prevent programme and other relevant institutions failed the victims' families. This situation reflects broader concerns about the effectiveness of anti-terror measures in the UK.
