It’s all over for the X Factor after 17 years, so we thought we’d get 2017 winners Rak Su to reminisce. As the number of self-isolation pings sent by the NHS Covid-19 app in England and Wales rises to a new record, our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones is here to tell us what else is going on with NHS apps.

And we’re talking about the weather, or more importantly, the climate. A new report says recent weather events are caused by ‘disruptive climate change’ so we asked Professor Liz Bentley - head of the Royal Meteorological Society – to explain what it all means.

This Newscast was made by Caitlin Hanrahan with producers Rick Kelsey and Alix Pickles. The editor is Dino Sofos.
