British Deputy PM resigns over bullying claims

The UK's Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab, resigned on Friday over bullying claims. A close ally of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, an inquiry found Mr Raab was "intimidating" and "aggressive" towards officials in different government departments where he's worked in recent years - claims he denied to the BBC and said set a "dangerous precedent."

Also in the programme: The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of access to the widely-used abortion drug mifepristone, while a legal case over restrictions continues. President Biden welcomed the court's decision.

And on Earth Day - an annual opportunity to celebrate nature and heighten environmental awareness that began in 1970 - we'll have a tribute to the power and joy of birdsong.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Anna Machin, British evolutionary anthropologist, writer and broadcaster and Kunal Purohit, an Indian journalist based in Mumbai.
