UK correspondent Matthew Parris joins Kathryn to talk about the controversy over a Christmas party held at Number 10 Downing St last year in contravention of Covid rules.

It's prompted the resignation overnight of former press-secretary Allegra Stratton from her current role after video emerged of her joking about the party.

Meanwhile Boris Johnson has announced further restrictions to tackle the omicron variant as cases rise, a whistleblower claims people were left to die at the hands of the Taliban amid a botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and a turtle is on the mend after being blown across the seas from Mexico to wash up on a Welsh beach.
