Oil and Trainers
More Or Less asks if it’s true millions of barrels of Nigeria’s oil are stolen daily, BBC Trending reports on sex “consent classes” and the Why Factor asks why we like trainers?
More Or Less checks out a claim by Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari that a million barrels of the country’s oil are stolen per day. Is he right? Ruth Alexander asks Peter Cunliffe-Jones of Africa Check. And, does 13% of the world’s undiscovered oil lie in the Arctic?
BBC Trending reports on controversy surrounding ‘consent lessons’ on offer in a number of British universities to tackle both rape and sexual assault. And we hear from the ‘Man who has it all’, a Twitter account that’s actually a scathing satire of the patronising lifestyle articles usually aimed at women. Also, one of the British Sikhs behind the #SikhLivesMatter hashtag – a response to recent violence in Punjab - explains what is motivating supporters.
And in the Why Factor, Mike Williams asks why trainers – or sneakers- have become such a popular fashion item far removed from their original purpose of health and fitness.
