Show Notes
Adam is back from his holiday and in classic Newscast fashion, there's some breaking news just before we hit publish.
But earlier, we looked at warnings the NHS is unprepared to offer two breakthrough Alzheimer’s drugs.
Medical editor Fergus Walsh and Dr Susan Kohlhaas from Alzheimer's Research UK join Adam to discuss whether medical science could be overtaking the health system. And, Israel’s military focus has turned to the southern Gazan city of Rafah. International editor Jeremy Bowen explains what’s happening, and how the rest of the world is reacting.
