Description
The social media app Snapchat is being used by paedophiles and violent criminals to target thousands of children a year - some as young as seven.
ITV News found that across 37 police forces, there were more than 100,000 offences involving the app over the past five years, including multiple cases of rape and sexual assault.
Former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas and former Conservative chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng joined Paul Brand and Kate Garraway to discuss this and today's other top stories.
Comments are turned off due to live ongoing police investigation.
