Description

Ministers are exploring using ferries to house migrants.

Adam and Chris delve into plans announced today that would see illegal immigrants housed at RAF bases - as well as suggestions they could be moved onto barges - and ask why some Conservative MPs aren’t happy.

Twitter boss Elon Musk calls for a pause to the development of Artificial Intelligence, saying it poses a threat to humanity. Adam chats with the BBC’s technology editor, Zoe Kleinman, and techy, Ivana Bartoletti, about whether we’re ready for the new tech.

And star of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Divina Di Campo, pays tribute to Paul O’Grady.

Today’s Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Cat Farnsworth with Cordelia Hemming and Madeleine Drury. The technical producer was Dafydd Evans. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
