Episode description

Today we look at the Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ a speech in which she backed a third runway at London's Heathrow Airport.

She said it’s "badly needed" and will help grow the economy by creating 100,000 new jobs and improving connectivity to global markets. But is it guaranteed, and what are the implications for emissions?

To answer those questions, Adam and Chris are joined by chief economics correspondent Dharshini David, and policy and analysis correspondent at BBC Verify Ben Chu.

And, we’ve been asking for your favourite celebrity cameos… today, a Newscaster makes one of their own.

Newscast brings you daily analysis of the latest political news stories from the BBC. It was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Chris Flynn, Anna Harris, and Shiler Mahmoudi. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The assistant editor is Chris Gray. The editor is Sam Bonham.
