Summary
The President has tested positive for coronavirus. If you can't wait for Americast - Emily Maitlis joins Jane with the briefing you need.
Newly-minted Deputy Political Editor Vicki Young explains why SNP Margaret Ferrier is facing calls to resign - and is looking increasingly isolated, and not just because she's quarantining. James Gallagher meanwhile explains why even if a vaccine is ready by Christmas, it might take longer to reach your arm.
And the Post Office now says it won't contest dozens of appeals from sub-postmasters convicted of theft, fraud and false accounting - they say wrongly. Was a glitchy computer system to blame? Nick Wallis has been investigating for years - and tells Jane everything he knows.
Presenter: Jane Garvey Assistant Editor: Emma Close Studio Manager: Emma Crowe Producers: Ben Weisz and Harriet Noble
