French far-right leader found guilty of embezzlement and barred from running for office.

The French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement and barred from running for political office - we have a full briefing on the implications for French democracy, and hear from one of Le Pen's political allies.

Here, Baroness Chakrabarti tells us the government is "playing politics" over its plans to override new guidelines on sentencing offenders from minority groups.

We examine the subject of children who abuse their parents, and hear the experience of one mother who was attacked by her son.
