Energy prices: EU unveils plan to ease gas crisis

The European Union has announced measures to alleviate an energy price surge

We'll look again at the impact of the global energy crisis and hear about the plan by the European Union to protect its members against surging prices.

We'll explain what is known about Havana syndrome, the mysterious illness which causes a painful sound in the ears, fatigue, and dizziness. The latest possible case has been reported at the US Embassy in Colombia.

We also continue our climate conversations and hear from three activists in Uganda, Kenya and South Africa. They share their concerns over Africa's vulnerability to the effects of climate change and explain what inspired them to become campaigners.

And we'll answer questions about the coronavirus pandemic with the help of Dr Maria Sundaram, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Wisconsin.

We'll go to Texas to hear about the debate on vaccine mandates.

Netflix has confirmed that the South Korean hit, Squid Game is its biggest original series launch ever. We'll ask people why they're fans of the show.
