Dr Giles Yeo joins Peter White to discuss his new BBC Two documentary where he debunks the health benefits of clean eating diets. Clean eating and the personalities that promote the recipes have been criticised for encouraging people to remove certain foods from their diet and promoting unhealthy eating habits. We debate claims that a shortage of funding for social care is contributing to the current crisis in the NHS. We hear from a social worker who helps people to make the move from hospital back home, an A&E doctor, and Richard Murray, Head of Policy at the King's Fund. The inventor of Yondr - a lockable pouch for your mobile phone tells us why artists like Alicia Keys and The Lumineers are using his invention to stop fans filming their gigs. The privacy regulator is reporting a huge growth in complaints about untraceable nuisance calls just before Christmas. We hear from the author of the Knights of Templar series, Michael Jecks, on why prank calls are disturbing his writing. How might the latest developments in artificial intelligence affect jobs in the future? Our reporter Melanie Abbott speaks to Dr Brian Cox at an event at the Royal Society. Fertility doctors say a lack of regulation could be leading some women to take too many drugs when receiving IVF treatment. We speak to a woman who had a heart attack because her dosage was too high and Professor Geeta Nargund, Lead Consultant for Reproductive Medicine at St George's Hospital, London. Producer: Lydia Thomas Presenter: Peter White.
