Weight loss jab 'could reduce heart attack risk'

Researchers found the drug supresses appetite.

A new study has found that a weight loss drug used by loads of celebrities - including Oprah - can cut the risk of heart attacks and strokes even if they fail to lose much weight. We ask a medical doctor about the drug's pros and cons. We also hear from people who have actually been using the drug.

We hear from a lawyer who has joined street protests in Georgia after parliament passed a law requiring civil society groups to declare foreign funding. We will also be joined by our reporter in Tbilisi

And we go to Brazil where devastating floods in the south has displaced more than half a million people. We hear from residents who were forced to move to safer areas.
