Vodafone Reveals Direct Wiretapping

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Mobile communications giant Vodafone has released a report detailing the extent of government surveillance of its networks worldwide. We ask why Vodafone has taken such a step. Also as the US economy creates jobs for the fourth month in a row, we look at a scheme which helps women return to the workforce after a long gap. On the 70th anniversary of D-Day, we look at the financial cost of the landings in the context of the war more generally. And we take a look back at the week's biggest business stories with Vaiju Naravane of The Hindu newspaper in Paris and David Freedman from The Atlantic magazine in Boston. (Image: Getty)
