General strike in Spain over cost of housing

Spanish workers are taking part in the country's first general strike for 14 years to protest against a housing crisis and the rising cost of living. Also on the programme: the surprise message from a star Real Madrid footballer to a boy who lost his legs in Sudan's war; and an Indian feature film storms to the top of the box office chart in the UK and Ireland for the first time.
