Senior doctors in Zimbabwe join strike

More than 400 junior doctors have already been sacked for striking.

Senior doctors in Zimbabwe have gone on strike in protest against the sackings of hundreds of junior doctors who have boycotted work in a pay dispute. More than 400 junior doctors have been fired after withdrawing their services. They are demanding a 500% salary increase, as a cushion against triple digit inflation.

Also on the programme is the worst over in the most recent ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo? And the majority of dolphins have been found to favour their right flipper, just as the majority of humans favour their right hands. What does this tell us about dolphin culture?
