About this episode
Two British-Chinese dual nationals have been convicted of spying for China, while the WHO addresses a hantavirus outbreak and Sir David Attenborough's birthday plans are revealed.
Two men have been found guilty of spying for Beijing, by passing on information about Hong Kong Democracy activists living in the UK. Also: The World Health Organisation has stressed that an outbreak of hantavirus on a cruise ship in the Atlantic does not signal the beginning of a pandemic. And Sir David Attenborough reveals the celebrations for his 100th birthday tomorrow won't be quite as he'd originally planned.
