WBR: Why extremists hate satire1 8 Jan 15

Thu, 8 Jan 15

Following the murders at Charlie Hebdo in Paris, we discuss the role of satire in standing2 up to repression3. We talk to our correspondent, Yogita Limaye, about the most closely contested presidential election in Sri Lanka for decades. Also Samsung predicts lower profits as it loses out to cheaper smartphone rivals, especially in the world's largest smartphone market, China. Plus today would have been Elvis's 80th birthday. Nevertheless, 38 years after his early death he is still a powerful brand - we look ahead to the auction4 of the first record he ever made.
