Phosphorus is a key ingredient in fertiliser. We need fertilisers to meet the demands of the planet’s growing population, but there is a limited supply of phosphorus. Once it finds its way into the sea it becomes impossible to recover.
And yet we all excrete about half a kilogram of the stuff a year, making cities a potentially rich source of the element. In the Netherlands human sludge is already being processed to recover phosphorus and recycle it into a high-tech fertiliser which will not leach into the environment.

Since the outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus late last year, health workers and governments have been rushing to limit transmission by deploying containment tactics and anti-contamination campaigns. But, as the virus spreads around the world, what are scientists doing to help our bodies fight off or resist this new infectious disease?
Viruses that cause human disease can be notoriously tricky to tackle. They don’t respond to antibiotics, can spread rapidly between human hosts, and even evolve improved ways of working as they multiply. Presenter Marnie Chesterton heads to the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Medicine to meet the researchers who are urgently searching for solutions.

- Women of all age groups have been at the forefront of the recent protests in India's capital Delhi.
These are ordinary women, many of them students and homemakers, who took the centre-stage at a national debate to revoke a new law that fast-tracks Indian citizenship for undocumented refugees from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan - but only those who are non-Muslim.
This is the first time so many women came out on a national issue, which cuts across religious lines.
#WorklifeIndia goes live with young student leaders from the protests to discuss what it took them to speak up and lead from the front.
