Water companies are being urged to clean up potentially harmful ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water.


High levels of per and polyfluoroalkyl substances have been discovered in UK water sources and while industry body Water UK says it’s still safe to drink - they are calling for a ban on the chemicals to avoid future problems.


Also in this episode, The Bionic Awards are coming to London. Entries are now open for the inaugural event to be held in Shoreditch next year.


We speak to founder of the awards and London Standard tech editor Alex Pell along with AI filmmaker Diane Laidlaw of Afro Futcha, about the importance of recognising AI creativity.


Plus…

  • A new £1.9million study will look at whether AI can help doctors make better decisions around how to treat prostate cancer
  • New research shows skipping breakfast might leave you feeling hungry but won’t impact your thinking skills
  • The Microsoft glitch that’s waited 10 years for a fix
  • A new sustainable tub for Cadbury’s Heroes and a change to the chocolate line-up

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
