An inheritance in soil: Meeting French farmers

In France, working the soil is often a family business. In the western city of La Rochelle, we meet three generations of cereal farmers who have been working the fields since 1912.

French GPs go on strike over deteriorating working conditions

In a rare move, general practitioners in France will go on strike on December 1 and 2, demanding greater investment from the government in local doctors' surgeries.

We also met a GP who was recently signed off work after suffering from burnout. http://dlvr.it/SdbZZD
