Scotcast

PPE Medpro, a company linked to Ultimo founder Baroness Michelle Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman, has been ordered to pay £122 million in damages for breaching a contract to supply surgical gowns during the Covid pandemic. Laura Kuenssberg, who interviewed the couple at the height of the controversy, tells us what they were like. And after MSPs approved new housing laws, the BBC's Georgina Hayes talks us through some big changes for renters and landlords.
