Love Thy Enemy: “I believe empathy is the biggest weapon we have to achieve this”

Sir Anthony Berry was killed in the Irish Republican Army’s bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton in 1984. His daughter Jo talks about her friendship with the man convicted of the attack and why she thinks empathy can make a difference.
