Today, details have emerged about how Prince Andrew can afford his Windsor mansion as pressure builds over whether he should be allowed to keep it. 

The new document reveals that instead of paying annual rent, Prince Andrew made large lump sum payments up-front, including for renovations. Adam is joined by politics and investigations correspondent Joe Pike to discuss whether political pressure is building for him to give up the property.

And, Boris Johnson has been giving evidence at the Covid Inquiry about the impact of the pandemic on children and young people. He told the inquiry that he ‘probably did go too far' with lockdown rules for children, and that the rules were at times overly complicated.

Adam speaks to BBC Education Editor Branwen Jeffries and BBC Verify’s Ben Chu.
