The Bigger Picture: UK unemployment, UK/EU negotiations & unintended consequences
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University looks at the Chancellor's new Kickstart scheme to get young people into work and asks whether it's a plan for the future or the past. He assesses whether there could be a breakthrough in UK/EU negotiations and explains why this one will not go right down to the wire. And, in the light of American left-wing protests, he wonders if - by the law of unintended consequences - the protesters might not bring about that which they least want.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Robots galore, mushroom leather and interactive paper
Share Radio's technology editor goes robot crazy, with robots deployed in care homes, serving in restaurants, triaging hospital patients and defending American Air Force bases. There's even a robot dog to make yourself that fits into the palm of your hand. There are unstaffed digital supermarkets in Sweden, a worldwide scam involving seeds, leather made of mushrooms and a way of making paper interactive.

With French warships sent to the eastern Mediterranean, Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University discusses why Turkey's actions are exacerbating tensions in the region and why Erdogan is so concerned about his legacy. He looks at the options available to President Putin as he watches the unrest in Belarus.
