Newscast - Remembering Sir David

The Queen agrees to make Southend a city in honour of the Conservative MP, Sir David Amess, who was stabbed to death in his constituency in Essex on Friday. Naga (today's special guest host) talks it through with Laura, as well as the BBC's Frank Gardner.

And, on the day that former US secretary of state, Colin Powell, dies, we hear from Sir Christopher Meyer, the former British Ambassador to the United States, who worked with him.

Today’s Newscast was made by Caitlin Hanrahan with producers Ben Cooper and Georgia Coan. The studio director was Cassie Galpin and the assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
