There’s been outrage over the way a 15-year-old black girl, known as Child Q, was strip-searched by police while she was at school.

A report on what happened says the search was unjustified and it’s likely that racism played a part.

We speak to the most senior black female police officer in the UK, Commander Dr Alison Heydari, BBC reporter Celestina Olulode who’s been following the story, and Ebinehita Iyere who’s the founder of Milk Honey Bees, which supports young vulnerable girls.

Despite his death 27 years ago, Tupac Shakur is still making headlines. He’s also widely considered to be one of the most successful rappers of all time. So, why is he so iconic? What was he like as a person, and why has it taken so long to arrest someone for his murder? De-Graft gets a rare look into Tupac’s life from someone who was close to him, his godfather, Jamal Joseph. Jamal is also the audiobook narrator of the newly released ‘Tupac Shakur: The Authorised Biography’. And if you don’t know that much about Tupac, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! De-Graft also sits down with culture and music journalist Nicolas-Tyrell Scott, who explains why the rapper was so influential and why a man by the name of Duane Davis has been charged with his murder.
