Also in the programme, we get the latest from Spain's Supreme Court, where 12 Catalan separatists are on trial, accused of rebellion, sedition and misusing funds in the 2017 drive for Independence from Spain. With socialism growing in popularity in the United States, our regular economic commentator, Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute, discusses the economics behind it. Women working long hours are more likely to be stressed than their male colleagues, according to new research from University College London. Gill Weston from UCL explains the findings.
