Minister of Opportunities Knocks

Jacob Rees-Mogg gets a new role in government... Chris sits in for Adam and chats through the latest cabinet reshuffle with the BBC's Alex Forsyth. On the day that the Health Secretary announces plans to reduce NHS waiting lists, Natasha Loder (who's making a Radio 4 doc all about the NHS backlog) puts the problem into perspective. And diplomacy continues in Russia and Ukraine... We chat to Carrie Davies in Moscow and Fergal Keane in Kiev. Today’s Newscast was made by John Murphy with Alix Pickles and Georgia Coan. The studio director was Emma Crowe and the assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
