China Japan Special

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

In this third of our special programmes from China and Japan, we look at some of the challenges facing the two nations. In China, Rob Young visits communities forced to leave their homes because of pollution and talks to an organic farmer about the contamination that's blighted so much of China's arable land. And in Japan, Mark Whittaker visits an island where the population is dwindling as a direct result of the harsh economic climate.
