The Daily T

In a remarkable turn of events, the White House medical team has had to clarify that a neurologist who visited eight times in as many months was not there to treat President Joe Biden, following angry exchanges in a media briefing with Biden’s press secretary. Meanwhile, Mr Biden himself took matters into his own hands and unexpectedly called into a morning news show to defend his own health and insist he would remain the Democrat nominee for the presidential election. Kamal and Camilla discuss the whole sorry mess, which comes in the light of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s first visit to Washington for the Nato summit. Plus, our Crime Editor Martin Evans and Science Editor Sarah Knapston are in the studio to discuss their story about the questions surrounding the evidence used to convict former nurse Lucy Letby.Read:Lucy Letby: Serial killer or a miscarriage of justice?Producers: Georgia Coan and Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Producer: Luke GoodsallStudio Operator: Meghan SearleSocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

It’s official: we have a new prime minister. When Sir Keir Starmer spoke on the steps of No 10 Downing Street he became just the seventh ever Labour politician to lead the country - but the challenges he is facing are vast. Kamal and Camilla take a look at the issues at the top of his in-tray, from a sluggish economy to immigration concerns.
