Indian doctors hold nationwide strike over violence

The protests follow the rape and murder of a junior doctor in Kolkata last week. We hear from one medic striking in the Indian city of Jaipur.

Also on the programme: Ukraine's military has destroyed a strategically important bridge in the Kursk region of Western Russia; and western tourists could be allowed to visit the secretive state of North Korea again from later this year.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Paula Erizanu, a journalist and writer in Moldova’s capital Chisinau, and Christopher Sabatini, Senior Research Fellow for Latin America, the US and the Americas Programme at Chatham House.
