Burnham one step closer to challenging Starmer

Available for over a year

Labour’s governing body says it will not block Andy Burnham from seeking selection for the Westminster seat of Makerfield. The move brings the Mayor of Greater Manchester one step closer to the Commons, and a potential leadership challenge to Keir Starmer. Also on the programme: a new outbreak of the highly infectious Ebola virus has spread from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Uganda. And we hear from Vienna ahead of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest final, which takes place in the Austrian capital on Saturday. Five countries are boycotting this year’s event because of Israel's participation, but the UK is not among them.
