Athletes criticise European anti-doping proposal to wipe pre-2005 world records

Athletes have reacted angrily to a European anti-doping proposal that could see them lose world records set before 2005.

Leading athletes have expressed outrage that many of their world records could lose official status under radical new anti-doping proposals from European Athletics. Also on the programme: the British Prime Minister sets out her approach to Brexit.  And the problem of tooth decay across Africa.
