In a case that has shocked the world, death row inmate Christa Pike is now conscious and speaking at a hospital after surviving Tennessee's failed execution attempt. Pike’s is the only person in modern U.S. history known to have survived a complete execution attempt after receiving two full doses of lethal injection drugs. Her legal team described her survival as "medically unprecedented". As she continues receiving critical care, her attorneys are actively renewing calls for Governor Bill Lee to commute her sentence to life imprisonment without parole.
Professor at The Colleges of Law in Ventura an Santa Barbara, Justin Tuttle, goes over the full details of this case. Petrie then asks you, do you feel like the death penalty is ever justifiable?

Have The Tories Changed?
Britain’s political landscape has seen sharp drama as the Conservative Party Conference convened in Birmingham, while the Green Party was plunged into crisis. At the Tory conference, leaders pitched "The Right Way" platform, with Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith pledging broad tax cuts and sweeping deregulation to drive economic growth. Meanwhile, Green Party Leader Zack Polanski faces intense fallout after conference delegates voted 1,022 to 813 to define Zionism as racism. Though Polanski missed the ballot while campaigning, the decision sparked global backlash, an entry ban from Israel, and a fierce rift among Green MPs.
Petrie is asking, have the Tories convinced you that they've changed? Former Political Editor, Vincent Moss, goes over all the events of the day before you get your chance to talk back.

Would You Change Your Brexit Vote?
Andy Burnham has said it’s “possible” Labour’s next election manifesto could include an in-out referendum on re-joining the EU in his strongest signal yet of his intentions to repair the damage of Brexit. The prime minister also said that securing closer ties to the EU “isn’t about leaping to a referendum”, but, if public opinion was “pointing towards” backing re-entry, he could commit to holding a vote on the issue in the next manifesto.
Political Correspondent at The Sunday Times in Scotland, John Boothman, analyses what the prime minister has said before Petrie finds out if you would vote the same way if asked again.
