Ahead of the Prime Minister’s appearance in parliament, they discuss what we’ve learned today about what Sir Keir Starmer knew, or did not know, about the Lord Mandelson’s vetting by the foreign office. Laura spoke to cabinet minister Liz Kendall, who backed the PM and said that Starmer would have blocked the appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador had he known he failed security vetting.
Elsewhere, negotiations continue between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. But is it actually currently open or closed? Has the ceasefire been breached? And what happens next? Paddy has been putting those questions to Lyse Doucet in Tehran.
Plus, Laura has been in Scotland speaking to voters and the party leaders about how those issues and others will affect which way voters go in the May elections.

People living close to the epicentre of a deadly Ebola outbreak have told the BBC of their fear, as the World Health Organization …

The chief of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who declared the outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo an international emergency last week, said he was “deeply concerned about the scale and speed of the epidemic”.
Officials said more than 513 cases were suspected in the country as of Tuesday, while one person has died in neighbouring Uganda.
It is feared the outbreak may have been ongoing for several weeks before it was first detected on 24 April.
There is no vaccine for the Bundibugyo strain of the virus fuelling the latest rise in cases, but the WHO is evaluating whether other drugs may provide protection.
