Bangladeshi garment workers protest cost of living

The clothing industry accounts for about 10% of the country's economic output.

The mass walkouts are over low pay and rising prices, with hundreds of clothing factories facing disruptions. We hear from workers demanding more pay and how likely a deal is to be done.

Also, we hear how a Budget dispute in Belgium has led to the resignation of the Prime Minister.

And an unusual race up one of China's most famous mountains with dozens of robots climbing the thousands of steps up Mount Tai.
