Episode description

Sir Keir Starmer faces increasing pressure over his decision to make Peter Mandelson the UK ambassador to the United States, with former deputy leader of the Labour Party, Baroness Harman, saying that it could bring him down.

However, in better news for him, US President Donald Trump has suggested he supports the prime minister's decision to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.

Authorities searching for the mother of NBC's Today co-host Savannah Guthrie have said they believe "she's still out there", but they have no suspects.

Senior officials from the United States and Iran are set to meet in Oman today for talks amid heightened tensions between the two nations.

And finally, the Winter Olympics officially begin today, with the opening ceremony set to take place this evening - but the Games are already being overshadowed by allegations of hacking and potential doping.
