Episode description

What will Rishi Sunak do with the home secretary?

Suella Braverman says she is "confident nothing untoward happened", but has refused to be drawn over whether she asked civil servants to arrange a one-to-one speed awareness course for her.

Standing in for Adam today are Americast presenters Marianna Spring and Justin Webb, who are joined by Newsnight political editor Nick Watt and Sir Jonathan Jones, who was the government’s most senior lawyer, to take part in their very own ‘ministerial code awareness course’.

And a new investigative journalism team called BBC Verify has been launched today, tasked with countering disinformation and fact checking. But how exactly does it work?

Today’s Newscast was presented by Marianna Spring and Justin Webb. It was made by Tim Walklate with Rufus Gray and George Dabby. The technical producer was Ben Andrews. The senior news editor is Damon Rose.
