In today's broadcast, we look back at Spain's accession to the European Union 40 years ago. The anniversary comes at a turbulent time for the bloc: to discuss the challenges it faces and Spain's current role within the EU, we are joined by Héctor Sánchez Margalef, researcher at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs.
We also discuss a scientific breakthrough in Alzheimer's disease research. An international study led by Spanish researchers has trialled a new method that can detect the disease using a small blood sample taken from a patient's finger. Dr Xavier Morató is one of the study's authors. He explains how this new process can improve the ability to make early diagnoses and why this is crucial for patients.
Finally, we talk about the Spanish movies in the running for Best Film at the European Film Awards this weekend: Sirāt, by Oliver Laxe; Tardes de soledad, by Albert Serra; and animation film Olivia y el terremoto invisible, by Irene Iborra.
