Hug Lyfe

A big step back to normal is coming for England. People will be able to hug their loved ones and enjoy a pint INSIDE the pub from next Monday. Our Health Editor, Hugh Pym, has all the latest details. Newsnight’s Kirsty Wark joins us from Edinburgh, as the fallout from the Scottish Parliament elections continues. And Professor Ciaran Martin, who was involved in the Scottish independence referendum in 2014, as a senior civil servant, helps us map out some of the SNP’s potential paths to independence. Today’s Newscast was made by Sam Bonham with Danny Wittenberg, Alix Pickles and Maz Ebtehaj. The Studio Director was Emma Crowe. Dino Sofos is the Editor.
