UK correspondent Matt Dathan joins Kathryn to talk about the Conservative Party conference that is being held in Manchester, where Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivered an hour-long address outlining his plans for the Tories. He confirmed the HS2 link - high speed rail between Birmingham and Manchester would be ditched - saying it was due to huge costs and long delays. Meanwhile Home Secretary Suella Braverman's comments that UK child grooming gangs were "almost all British-Pakistani men" has been ruled misleading by the press regulator. She's continued to warn of a "hurricane" of mass migration - comments that will anger her colleagues.
