James O'Brien Daily

Can young people not handle the stress of employment?


Listen Later

Lewis Goodall of The News Agents podcast is covering for James O’Brien all this week live on LBC from 10am, and of course, right here on James O’Brien Daily.

Government figures show the number of young people who do not work because of long-term sickness with a mental health condition has increased by 26% in the last year. Remarking on this, Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall has said that too many young people see the world of work as stressful and accused some benefit claimants of “taking the mickey”. Is she right?

Also, Donald Trump is imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court, accusing it of “baselessly” targeting the US and Israel following the ICC’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over alleged war crimes in Gaza. War correspondent Chris Stephen shares all the details, and Lewis speaks with Donald Trump’s nephew, Fred Trump III, who believes Trump will illegally run for a third term.

And, hundreds of Rwandan troops have been killed during covert operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, contradicting claims from Rwandan officials that its soldiers are not involved. Was the Conservative Government right in declaring the Rwanda plan safe for deportees? Lewis speaks with Mark Townsend, Senior Development reporter at The Guardian who published today’s exclusive on the conflict. 

This episode was recorded on the 7th February. Catch Lewis Goodall, in for James O'Brien, each day this week from 10am until Friday on LBC.
