Summary
Today, we look at the junior doctors strike, a teenage darting sensation and the return of the Traitors.
As Junior doctors begin the longest strike in NHS history Adam is joined by Dr Adrian Boyle, president of Royal College of Emergency Medicine, to find out what the 6-day walkout means for NHS services.
And at the age of 16, Luke Littler is now the youngest person ever to make the final of the World Darts Championship. What makes him so special? And what does a teenager do with hundreds of thousands of pounds of prize money? Adam speaks to darts boss and sports promoter Eddie Hearn to find out.
Also on tonight is the return of reality TV show, The Traitors. Series 1 winner Hannah Byczkowski tells us what its like to be a contestant on the hit psychological competition.
