About this episode

Adam and Vicki react to the sudden news that Boris Johnson’s ethics adviser Lord Geidt has quit. They’re joined by home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani and former Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption, who gives his view on the resignation, as well as the cancellation of the first flight to Rwanda that was due to deport asylum seekers. And weather presenter Tomasz Schafernaker invites a sweaty Adam into the brand new BBC News TV studio to give us our very own forecast. Today’s Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg with Chris Flynn, Cordelia Hemming and Miranda Slade. The technical producer was Emma Crowe. The assistant editor was Alison Gee.
