About this episode

Today, the four MPs who hope to become the next Conservative leader had 20 minutes each to deliver a speech to conference about why they should choose them.

Adam catches up with Chris Mason about the atmosphere at Tory conference, what each leadership hopeful had to say in their speeches, and why the Prime Minister has chosen to pay back £6,000 worth of gifts he has received.

And Paul Adams, BBC diplomatic correspondent, discusses what we’ve learned since Iran’s missile strikes on Israel last night - and answer some of your questions.
