The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The two leaders clashed over NHS, tax and immigration in their first head-to-head TV debate of the election campaign. We spoke to Michael Gove, Conservative’s Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities; and Labour's shadow health secretary Wes Streeting. Also in the programme: A shock result in India's general election as Narendra Modi loses his parliamentary majority but claims a win. And the tale of the tiny fossil hunter – how three pre-teens found a rare teenage T-rex.
