good evening. we start tonight with the escalating legal battle between rishi sunak s government and the independent public inquiry, into the handling of the covid pandemic. government officials in the cabinet office missed a deadline, earlier today, to hand over all of boris johnson s private messages and papers, to the inquiry. what s more, the government is now launching a legal challenge, arguing that some of the material is not relevant to the inquiry s work. the chair of the inquiry, baroness hallett, a formerjudge at the court of appeal, says it s for the inquiry to decide what is or is not relevant. and she s hinted that the inquiry could launch its own legal action against the government. labour has accused the government of undermining the work of the inquiry, as our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. the covid pandemic had a huge and lasting impact. now a public inquiry is examining what happened, the decisions taken in government that affected so many l
