US unemployment rate holds steady in April
It remained at 3.6% as 428,000 jobs were added to the economy.
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Michelle Fleury joins us to explain the latest US unemployment figures. Also in the programme, 2000 trade unions in Sri Lanka have participated in a nation-wide strike, with employees calling in sick and out on the streets across the country. Our reporter Archana Shukla gives us the latest from Colombo. And Martyn Williams has a report about the English film enthusiasts who are working to bring back 35mm projectors. Plus in an attempt to crack down on crypto currency crime, the Treasury Department is banning Blender - a type of currency mixer which scrambles cryptocurrencies from thousands of addresses, to make transactions even harder to trace. It was used in a huge multi-million dollar heist undertaken by hackers in North Korea - we hear more from Herb Scribner - a reporter at Axios (Image: A help wanted sign in the window of a Los Angeles restaurant.
