What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise editor James Harding.
In this episode he’s joined by Basia Cummings, Giles Whittell and Will Brown.
The team discuss whether there could be military intervention in Niger, King Charles’s 45% pay rise and the mountaineers criticised for continuing their ascent after finding a dying guide.
