Is Being Worse Off The New Normal?

Is being worse off the 'new normal' in the face of the cost of living crisis? Beirut two years on from the catastrophic explosion and writers' freedom with author Jan Carson

Claire Graham asks if being worse off is the new normal, then what can we do? Journalist Niamh Campbell, activist Rosalind Skillen and independent financial advisor Alice Gavin discuss the practicalities and the ethics. And Anna Foster tells us how a multi-year cost of living crisis along with the ongoing impact of the August 2020 explosion in the port is affecting life in Beirut.

And we'll be hearing from a project that uses artificial intelligence to decode what animals are saying to each other. Will that change how we think about and care for the animal kingdom?
