Summary

Another day, still no sign of Sue Gray... There’s confusion over when Sue Gray’s report will be published (and whether it will be as detailed as people first thought) after the Met Police asked for “minimal reference” to the events they are investigating. BBC Political Correspondent Nick Eardley helps us make sense of the latest Gray delay. And all the partygate developments mean it’s been a while since we've chatted about Covid. The BBC's Clive Myrie (who’s been reporting from inside an intensive care unit in London) and our Health Editor, Hugh Pym, talk through how hospitals are coping and look at the latest data. Today’s Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg with Georgia Coan and Ben Cooper. The studio director was Emma Crowe. The assistant editor was Sam Bonham.

0:47.0	We can talk about it now with BBC Technology correspondent Shona McCallum, who's making her
0:51.4	newscast debut.
0:52.4	Welcome Shona.
0:53.4	Thank you very much and on my birthday.
0:55.4	Oh, well, happy birthday.
0:57.1	I don't know if Neil Young's done a version of happy birthday, but we'll never know now
1:01.1	because we won't be able to play on Spotify.
1:03.6	So what was Neil Young's problem with Spotify and Joe Rogan, first of all?
1:08.4	Yeah, well, I mean, I suppose most of the audience will know Neil Young.
1:12.8	I'm not sure if everyone will know Joe Rogan, maybe most people are on BBC sounds rather
1:17.1	than listening to him on Spotify, but just to give you a bit of background, I mean, this
1:21.6	is not a man in his bedroom, he is a big deal and the most popular podcaster in the world.
