World at One

Available for 29 days

The Government commits an additional £432 million to give every rough sleeper in England a route off the streets by Christmas. We hear from someone who has experience of sleeping rough, and speak to Bev Craig, the new Mayor of Greater Manchester. Senior doctors in England have voted to walk out for two days in a month's time over pay and working conditions. After a student-led protest movement wins parliamentary elections in Serbia, we speak to a student who's been involved from the start.
