Folge vom 05.12.2024Could footballers go on strike?Earlier this year, Manchester City midfielder Rodri issued a warning that players were "close" to taking strike action over their increased workload.Rodri played 63 competitive games for club and country last season. But a recent report found that a player welfare 'red line' was a maximum of between 50 and 60 matches per season, depending on a player's age.Some of the game's biggest names have joined Rodri in threatening to walk out, and the union that represents them is launching legal action against the sport's governing body, FIFA.But there's a lot of money invested in football, so what's the likelihood the sport might change to stop players feeling over-stretched? And is strike action likely or even possible?(Picture: Empty stadium with floodlights shining down on a football on the pitch. Credit: Getty Images)Presented and produced by Matt Lines

Folge vom 03.12.2024Ghana’s illegal gold minesGhana is a global gold mining powerhouse and Africa's biggest producer. The informal mining sector of gold – known locally as “galamsey” - is a big election issue here. There have been recent marches demanding tougher action against illegal miners in Accra. But illegal mining is also a major source of employment. More than a million Ghanaians make their living from galamsey. We hear from local galamsey miners and look at the negative impact this industry is having on both the workers in terms of health, the environment, and the wider community.
