Today, we look at Birmingham’s bin crisis, with new threats it could spread to other cities.
Why are striking workers threatening further action? And, could the strike inspire copy-cat action across the nation? Adam and Alex speak to the BBC’s Midlands political correspondent Rob Mayor.
Also, US Vice-President JD Vance has said there was a “good chance” a trade deal could be reached with the UK. Meanwhile, President Xi has been visiting neighbouring countries with the hope of strengthening ties. Adam is joined by Faisal Islam BBC economic editor and the BBC’s China correspondent Laura Bicker who has been speaking to factory workers in China.
