Today, we look at the debate over a national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal playing out in the House of Commons. The issue was voted on because of an amendment to a Labour bill that will introduce changes to the education system. Chris unpacks the politics, education editor Branwen Jeffreys explains the changes, and political correspondent Tom Symonds talks about what victims are calling for.
