Today on The Current: As air traffic controllers go without pay during the U.S. government shutdown, are air passengers being put at risk?; plus, we look at what doctors can do when patients demand care from someone with a different skin colour; and a conversation about using the pill to hack your menstruation cycle, after British health officials suggest there's actually no need to bleed.

- New guidelines from British health officials say there's no need to menstruate while taking oral contraceptives. So why are birth control pills made so that you do?
