Summary
Today, we look at an update on the recovery of Catherine, Princess of Wales.
The Princess of Wales has released a video saying that she has completed chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Adam is joined by BBC royal correspondent Daniela Relph to discuss her health and this new style of royal communication.
And, more councils are to be given powers to take control of bus services under a franchising system, but how will it work? And will it create a better service for travellers? Adam speaks to Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin.
Plus, Keir Starmer was photographed playing Sunday league football this weekend. BBC Football Reporter John Murray tells us about the PM’s playing style and what we could learn from his choice of kit!
