From Nine To Noon, 9:45 am on 25 August 2022

UK correspondent Matthew Parris joins Kathryn to talk about the latest from the Tory leadership race, as both Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak focus on reform of the NHS.

Armed police are on the streets of Liverpool, hunting for the gunman who shot into a house and killed a nine-year-old girl.

France wants £8 million from Britain it says it's owed for patrolling beaches for migrants, after a record 1,295 crossed the Channel in a single day and Eurotunnel has apologised after passengers were left stranded in the Channel Tunnel when a train broke down for several hours with some describing the scene as "like a disaster movie".
