Newsday

Available for 29 days

Pressure has been building on the prime minister after Labour's disastrous performance in last week's elections - but he's vowed to prove "doubters" wrong and says he won't "walk away". The last passengers leave the virus-hit cruise ship as authorities confirm three new positive cases linked to the deadly outbreak. And a BBC investigation finds out the man and his gang believed to be responsible for bringing thousands of migrants into the UK in small boats and lorries.
