On this week's show, we look into the use of interpreters in courts and police stations and find out why a Ministry of Justice contract with Applied Language Solutions Ltd (now known as Capita Translation and Interpreting Ltd) is causing concern for interpreters, courts and parties to proceedings.
We speak with Mirela Watson, a Romanian interpreter with over a decade of experience and qualifications, about what is wrong with the present system and where the dangers lie.

The "Justice for Sale" meeting in London on 22nd May 2013 is now sold out. That's more than 1,100 people and a significant press following. We will be covering the event (all things being equal!). The press release from the CLSA, confirming the sell-out, is here.
There are some clues as to the details of some of the Home Secretary's plans for criminal justice, following her address at the Police Federation conference in Bournemouth. The M.E.N. also had this to say.
We have what might be the last Abu Qatada update from Jonathan Holt.
We all do some agreeing with the Home Secretary about a couple of things. Don't worry; normal service will be resumed by next week.
In next week's show, coverage of the London "Justice For Sale" event and the protest demo in Manchester. And maybe some cake and bourbon.
