A grilling over Boris Johnson's decisions during the pandemic on the second day of his appearance before the UK's Covid-19 inquiry.
It's heard evidence from former advisers that the then-Prime Minister wanted to let the virus spread, rather than order another lockdown
Johnson's also accused of saying "let the bodies pile high", something he strongly denies.
UK correspondent Vincent McAviney told Tim Dower that he also faced criticism for a campaign encouraging people go to restaurants while the virus was still out there.
He says the campaign, called " Eat out to Help out" was derided by scientists as " Eat out to help out the virus".
