The Week Trending - Scotland's Chief Medical Officer Resigns After Breaching Lockdown

We've all been told to stay at home during the coronavirus outbreak, but Scotland's Chief Medical Officer has resigned after failing to follow her own advice. Dr Catherine Calderwood was photographed breaching the lockdown by visiting her second home in Earlsferry, Fife last weekend, which is over an hour's drive from her main home in Edinburgh. She had previously appeared on TV and radio adverts urging the public to stay at home to save lives and protect the NHS. Larissa Nolan and Gearóid Farelly joined us for The Week Trending to discuss this and some of the other stories making headlines this week.
