Russian spies have been accused of involvement in a series of cyber-plots across the globe, leading the US to level charges against seven agents. We get analysis from Adam Segal of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Also in the programme, we hear about the threat of cyberattacks against big banks from Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JP Morgan Chase. Amid growing concern about the issue of plastic waste around the world, we hear from Gabby Edlin who is chief executive of Bloody Good Period, which campaigns for more widespread use of reusable sanitary products. Meanwhile, environmental campaigner Jonathon Porritt of Forum 4 the Future gives his view on what governments are doing to reduce waste. And we find out what Macedonia's government is likely to do next after a referendum which saw people vote heavily in favour of a name change to North Macedonia was ruled invalid, because turnout was below the required 50 per cent.
