Bernie Ecclestone has paid $100m to put an end to a German corruption case. We ask what it means for Formula One. Also in the programme, as leaders in the battle over Scottish independence go head-to-head in their first live television debate, we hear the economic arguments for and against an independence move. Whilst African leaders continue a trade summit in the USA, we report from Lesotho about what impact the US's Africa Growth and Opportunity Act has had on the small African country. Plus, the American workers who dropped their tools and went on strike, not for higher wages, nor for better conditions, but to reinstate their boss.
