Why did Elon Musk buy Twitter and how did a 13-year-old girl die needlessly in the NHS?

What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise editor James Harding.


In this episode he’s joined by Tortoise editors Basia Cummings, Jeevan Vasagar and Giles Whittell.


They discuss the risk of collapsing schools, an EU report on Kremlin disinformation and why the parents of Martha Mills, who died from sepsis, are campaigning for patients to have the right to a second opinion if they have concerns about care.


You can listen to Martha's mother, Merope Mills, speaking with Mishal Husain on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme here: https://pod.fo/e/1ea721
