	Description:		1,300 workers sign an open letter asking for work to stop on Project Maven, which uses artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of military drone strikes. We speak to Kate Conger of the technology website Gizmodo on what this means for Google's image, and future. More and more people are being tested for the presence of agricultural chemicals in their system, but how dangerous are they? BBC reporter Mike Powell investigates. And as Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is accused of looking bored at the Commonwealth Games in Australia, we learn what we can do to fight boredom. Also in the programme: the International Rescue Committee tells us how it's hoping its new podcast will raise awareness of the plight of refugees. Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by activist and financial reform advocate Alexis Goldstein in Washington, and Jonathan Cheng of the Wall Street Journal in Seoul.
