Summary
Sima Kotecha is sitting in for Adam while he’s on his holiday… and where Sima goes, her mum often follows. She’s realised that the war in Ukraine is having an impact on supply chains, in particular sunflower oil. Gary Lewis, the president of the National Edible Oil Distributors’ Association explains what’s happening.
Actor Siobhán McSweeney, also known as Sister Michael from Channel 4’s Derry Girls, speaks about the government’s intentions to privatise the channel.
And we talk to a woman in Devon who’s trying to provide a home for a family that’s fled Ukraine, but they’ve been dogged by bureaucracy and delays. The BBC’s home editor Mark Easton is also on the programme, having interviewed Home Secretary Priti Patel about government schemes to help refugees.
Today's Newscast was made by Alison Gee, Chris Flynn, Cordelia Hemming and Miranda Slade. The assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
