The problem with pay
We look at how pay disputes are being handled across the world - and the differences between private and public sector roles.
In the UK, some Nurses in the Government-funded National Health Service are the latest group to take action over pay. The Royal College of Nursing wants a 19 percent pay rise and says below inflation increases are compromising care by making it hard to attract and retain nurses. But the government says that's not affordable. It's the latest in a series of strikes and we look at how the public and private sectors across the world are tackling the issue of fair pay.
Elsewhere we hear from Qatar, and ask what the World Cup has meant for the country's future.
Plus Avatar - which opens this weekend in cinemas around the globe. Just how important is it for the future of cinema?
