Paralysed man moves in mind-reading exoskeleton

A French man has been able to move his paralysed limbs with a mind-controlled suit

Our health and science correspondent explains how a French man has been able to move his paralysed limbs with the use of a mind-controlled suit. We hear about the possible impact of this breakthrough technology.

And after three days of protests in Iraq we speak to two women in the capital Baghdad to find out about what everyday life in the country is like and discuss some of the issues that have led to the demonstrations.

Also numerous governments have called on Facebook to rethink its plans to encrypt all messages on its platforms. But what is 'end to end encryption' and why is it so contentious? Our technology reporter explains.
