The home office minister has said there is a possibility people could lose their jobs as a result of failures to stop Southport killer, Axel Rudakubana. Jess Phillips said it was 'very, very clear there were failings in the Prevent model' and said the government's public inquiry will seek to identify and change individual and systematic flaws, including job dismissals and reforms. Rudakubana had been on the police's radar and had been referred to Prevent, the counterterrorism programme, on three occasions before he carried out a deadly knife attack, killing three young girls and injuring numerous other people last summer.

00:00I think it's very very clear that in this case that the Prevent model there
00:06were failings in it, there were state failures across the board it would seem
00:12and that is why the government have announced a proper public inquiry to get
00:17to the bottom of exactly what is going wrong not just with Prevent but all of
00:22the instances where the killer of those three beautiful little girls wasn't
00:27stopped when there's potential that he could have been. Look I always think if
00:31there are failings that are individuals failings then of course but if there is
00:36a systematic flaw in the system then that is for governments to change so
00:43that I won't preempt what the particular things that are found. What
00:49is a seems a terrible shame in this instance is that the school teachers for
00:53example tried to intervene in this case and we're left with little resource and
01:00that needs to be looked into now that might be a systematic problem it might
01:03be an individual one and we need to get to the bottom of that.
