A man who was in charge of executions in the US state of Georgia tells us he is still haunted by what he witnessed.
The man who was in charge of executions in the U.S state of Georgia, explains why he's now campaigning against the death penalty. Allen Ault oversaw deaths via the electric chair in the 1990s until he left his post as corrections chief in 1995. He now describes the practice as "horrific" and has received counselling to try to come to terms with his sense of guilt.
Also the top sports psychiatrist, Dr Steve Peters, has been asked to help the England team in the run up to the World Cup. One of Britain's greatest ever martial artists, who has had sessions with Dr Peters, tells Victoria he'll be a real help to the squad.
