New London airport plan shelved

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We debate the merits of airport expansion. Can it ever be sustainable? Also in the programme, we talk to the human rights campaigner who faces jail for claiming workers in Thailand are being abused. The taxi app Uber defies another legal ban, this time in Germany. Plus, Motor City becomes Drought City. How bankrupt Detroit's water supply dried up along with its money.
