Why was the UK chancellor crying in parliament? | BBC Newscast

The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves was visibly upset at Prime Minister’s Questions.

Her team say it was a personal matter, and there are also reports of an argument with the speaker. Adam and Chris look at what’s been going on amidst mounting criticism of the chancellor’s handling of the welfare cuts.

Plus, Sean "Diddy" Combs has been found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking his ex-partner Cassie Ventura and another woman. The US rapper was found guilty of two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution relating to both women.

Crowds gathered outside the courthouse in New York to hear the verdict. Adam is joined by the host of the Diddy on Trial podcast, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty who’s been following the trial.
