Available for 29 days

The medical charity, Médicins Sans Frontières, has warned that Ebola is spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at a 'deeply alarming' rate. We hear from the Democratic Republic of the Congo as the head of the World Health Organisation Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrives. Also, the leader of the Sikh Supreme Council in the UK responds to calls to ban the ceremonial Kirpan knife. And a new trial shows that millions of breast cancer patients might not need chemotherapy.
