Striking healthcare workers

We hear why doctors and nurses are striking across Europe

On the programme this week we're going to be looking at the huge number of strikes happening around the world at the moment - and speaking to people involved. In many countries nurses, doctors and other health care workers are taking part in a growing wave of strikes and protest. We hear from two medical workers, a doctor and a nurse, who will be going on strike in the coming weeks.

Also on the programme: A major breakthrough has been announced by US scientists in the race to recreate nuclear fusion, a potential source of near-limitless clean energy. We bring you the latest news from the press conference, and hear more about the breakthrough from a fusion scientist.

And, the US authorities have filed eight separate criminal charges against the founder of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange, FTX. Sam Bankman-Fried is accused of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States among other things. He was arrested in the Bahamas on Monday and is expected to be extradited to the US. We hear the latest updates on the trial.
