The Man Who Wants to Change His Age
We speak to a Dutchman in a legal battle to reduce his age by 20 years to boost his dating and employment prospects.
We speak to Emile Ratelband, 69, who wants to shift his birthday from 1949 to 1969, comparing the change to identifying as being transgender. Mr Ratelband argues he feels discriminated against because of his age, and that it affects his employment chances and his success rate on dating apps.
Also today: We'll explain where we think we are with the inquiry into alleged Russian interference in the last US presidential election and get the latest on the shooting in California.
And we talk to musician Allyson MacIvor. She’s been making headlines after she was told to stopping kissing another woman at a Jack White concert in Canada.
