WBR: Apple 'failing to protect Chinese workers' 18 Dec 14

Thu, 18 Dec 14

A BBC investigation1 has exposed poor working conditions at factories in China producing for electronics giant Apple. Reporter Richard Bilton tells us what he discovered. Also Europe ramps2 up sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, just as President Putin tries to reassure3 the world that his country's economic crisis will subside4. The EU's most senior court rules that obese5 people could be entitled to the same protection at work as disabled people. We hear from a clinically obese fitness instructor6 who campaigns on behalf of overweight and obese people. And the enduring legacy7 of Winston Churchill as his personal possessions attract big bids at auction8.
