Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been fighting for his political career this morning - saying "hand on heart" he didn't lie to parliament over rule-breaking Covid-19 lockdown parties at 10 Downing Street.

Parliament's Committee of Privileges is investigating whether Johnson intentionally or recklessly misled the House of Commons in a series of statements about the parties.

UK correspondent Vincent McAviney spoke to Corin Dann.
