Summary

Day two of weekend Newscasts with Laura Kuenssberg and Paddy O’Connell. And brand new BBC political chief correspondent, Henry Zeffman, joins them from his sofa at home.

Laura gives her take on her interview with the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, who says the government "won't take any risks" with children's safety following the crumbly concrete crisis. But how worried should the government be about the political heat?

And what did everyone make of Laura’s exchange with Piers Morgan? He denied any involvement in phone hacking and accused Prince Harry, who is suing Mirror Group Newspapers, of being a “shameless hypocrite”.

In case you've missed it, Laura and Paddy will be on Newscast on Saturday and Sundays, popping into the Newscast studio from their respective weekend TV and radio shows.
