High court allows rugby brain injury case to go on
from BBC · host BBC
Former rugby union and league players claim not enough was done to prevent brain injuries. Governing bodies argue robust systems are in place to minimise the risks to players. We hear from former Wales international rugby player Alix Popham, who’s been diagnosed with early onset dementia and probable CTE. Also in the programme: the Panama Canal's operator is to cut the number of vessels passing through the key waterway due to low rainfall caused by El Niño. And we speak to the cast and director of a play exploring the relationship between former prime ministers Winston Churchill and David Lloyd George.
