Show Notes

A top UK official says he regrets staying on holiday during Afghan crisis... The BBC's James Landale joins Adam to talk it all through, and we hear from Basira Paigham, who was evacuated from Afghanistan and is on this year’s #BBC100Women 2021 list.

Also, Adam digs deep into the pockets of personal finance with Jaidev Janardana, the boss of Zopa, the world's first peer-to-peer lending company (which has just pulled out of peer-to-peer lending). Is it RIP for P2P?

Today’s episode of Newscast was made by Sam Bonham with Ben Cooper and Alix Pickles. The studio director was Emma Crowe and the assistant editor was Alison Gee.
