North West Today

Available for 29 days

Trade unions warn jobs and services are at risk as health trusts prepare to announce plans to save hundreds of millions of pounds. We speak to one trade union leader ahead of protests, including one at Altnagelvin Hospital. At least 160 people have died in Nepal following flash flooding and a mudslide. Tourists from the UK and Ireland are among more than 800 people who are missing. And the Education Minister is to launch a consultation into completely banning mobile phones from schools. We get the thoughts of the Principal of St Patrick's and St Brigid's College, Claudy. Presented by Dean McLaughlin.
