A “perfect storm” of challenges is creating a “lost generation” of young adults who are neither in work, education or training, according to a review by former minister Alan Milburn. As more than a million 18-24 year olds fall into that category, we hear from three political figures from three different parties about how they’d tackle the problem.
Also on the programme: US officials say they’ve reached a tentative deal with Iran to extend a ceasefire and launch negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme. We get the latest and explore what it might mean for Lebanon and Israel.
And as observers suggest the intense heat in Paris is behind Jannik Sinner’s dramatic crash out of the French Open, we ask what is meant by the “wet bulb” temperature?
