Five new meningitis cases in Kent outbreak
Targeted vaccination scheme continues for students at the University of Kent.
The Kent meningitis outbreak, described by the UK Health Security Agency as being of an "explosive nature", now has five confirmed new cases. It brings the suspected and confirmed number of cases to 20. We look into why the strain is spreading so quickly, and hear from someone who attended the nightclub believed to be at the centre of the infections. Also, as another senior Iranian figure is killed, we look into reports that President Trump is considering giving the green light to a special forces raid to capture or destroy the regime's enriched uranium. And how do you test drugs on pregnant women? We hear about the call for them to be included in clinical trials.
