Football鈥檚 Red Card Clich茅
More Or Less asks if the football clich茅 is true: 鈥渋t鈥檚 harder to play against 10 men鈥, 大象传媒 Trending finds medical malpractice in France and the Why Factor is all about graffiti.
Football managers and pundits often say 鈥渋t鈥檚 harder to play against 10 men鈥, but is there any truth in this clich茅? More Or Less investigates. Also, Tim Harford speaks to the author Siobhan Roberts about Professor John Conway, who has been described as a genius and one of the world鈥檚 most charismatic mathematicians.
大象传媒 Trending reports on medical malpractice in France, revealed after a French woman became concerned about the way her routine gynaecology examination was carried out and her husband asked a simple question about standard procedures on Twitter. The tweet triggered a slew of accusations about malpractice.
We also hear from Emily Bingham, whose Facebook plea for people to stop asking 鈥榳hen will you have a baby?鈥 struck a chord online.
And in the Why Factor, Mike Williams asks why humans have had the urge to leave their mark from Stone Age caves to the walls of our modern cities. He joins the artists at a Graffiti competition held in London and has a go himself with the spray paint.
