BBC News
About this episode

…featuring Megan Barton-Hanson!

Now it’s really starting to feel like summer! We have the mood around the England v Germany game in the Euros from Harry Kane’s old school in Essex.

The BBC’s Andrew Marr gives his take on a scandalous week in UK politics and tells Adam how he’s fully vaccinated but still got Covid. Fergus joins them with more – and much-anticipated – vaccine news.

And as the new series of Love Island starts, we speak to Instagram influencer and ex-islander Megan Barton-Hanson and ad regulation expert Jessica Tye about the perils of posting sponsored content on social media, plus whether the reality show is still up-to-date.

Today's Newscast was made by Emma Close with Danny Wittenberg and Georgia Coan. The editor is Dino Sofos.
