Conservative Michelle Mone takes leave of absence from Lords amid PPE contract claims

Conservative peer Michelle Mone is taking a leave of absence from the House of Lords with immediate effect. Baroness Mone is at the centre of controversy over her alleged links to a firm awarded Β£200m of PPE contracts. A Labour motion, calling for the documents to be produced, passed the Commons unopposed this evening. We hear from the chair of the Public Accounts Committee Meg Hillier.

Also on the programme: Latvia has shut down an exiled Russian TV station - calling it a threat to national security. And we hear about the brutal murder of four university students in the small US town of Moscow in Idaho.
