0:33Welcome to the Times Radio News Briefing on Sunday 8th November. Poland has begun two days of national mourning after six people were killed in a mass shooting in Krakow. 17 others, including two police officers, were injured. Authorities say it appears to have been inspired by far-right ideology. The 24-year-old suspect's parents and sister were later found dead at their home. He is in a critical condition in hospital. The Conservatives are accusing Lisa Nandy of disrespecting military veterans. The Culture Secretary says her department wants to repair damage done to what she calls the strong links with Europe that veterans helped to secure after the Second World War.

1:13She says that rejoining the Erasmus Students' Mobility Programme will help to do that. The Tories, though, claim she is using Remembrance Sunday to launch an EU membership pitch. But the Labour MP Alex Ballinger, who served with the Royal Marines, has told Times Radio that's not the case. European alliances, those cooperation that we're doing, Lisa was absolutely right to raise that and mark it as an important part of Remembrance celebrations. Russell Brand's defence barrister tried to get his case dismissed in a pre-trial hearing. Ian Winter Casey has also accused journalists who reported the allegations against Brand of acting in an unlawful manner.

1:51He alleged that reporters, including from the Sunday Times, perverted the course of justice. He also claimed that Brand's accusers did not exist. Rosamund Irwin, the Sunday Times' chief news correspondent, says the paper's investigation was thorough. It wouldn't have taken me four years if I could have just made up the women as he implied we had done. These women categorically exist. Some of them handed over huge amounts of evidence, well, in fact, all of them in different ways, But one woman in particular, Nadia, she had extraordinary amounts of evidence going to a clinic the next day, her therapy notes.

2:26You know, this is a very intrusive process. Ian Winter has referred himself to the Bar Standards Board. And under-16s are expected to be banned from Vinted and eBay. There are fears that messaging functions are now strangers to groom children. The Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandes, to expand the social media ban, announced earlier this year to cover online marketplaces. Social media expert Sarah Clay says children need to be warned about online dangers. If they're sitting in their bedrooms, it feels like a safe space. And, oh, I'll just use mum's account. That's fine. It's OK. It's no problem. So they're going to do it.

3:00There's no question about it. But if the children are educated and help them realise that actually what happens in those rooms has the potential to lead to much greater and worse consequences, that's where we need to start.
