Why extreme turbulence is getting worse
Listen now
Description
"Extreme turbulence" on a London-Singapore flight has left one person dead and 71 injured. So, how likely are events like these and are planes going to be experiencing more turbulence in a warming world?  And, deadly violence has erupted in New Caledonia after the French Government in Paris approved a constitutional amendment to allow more recent arrivals to the French territory to vote in provincial elections. Now after a week of violent protest, repatriation flights are bringing stranded Australians home.  Plus, specialist endometriosis care isn't easy to come by in regional areas, so patients and health care professionals are creating their networks to fill the gaps and navigate a system that has historically minimised women's pain. Guests: Doug Drury, professor of aviation, CQ University Dr Florence Boulard, senior lecturer, James Cook University
