Nadya Tolokonnikova of Russian art collective Pussy Riot, describes her pioneering news venture. Oil giant BP is accused by a US judge of gross negligence over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Plus, as toymaker Lego announces a giant leap in profits we explore the secret of its success. And in a first-of-its-kind study, an international team of neuroscientists and robotics engineers has demonstrated direct brain-to-brain communication in humans. Discussing these issues we are joined from Beijing, by Tianjie Ma of Greenpeace China and from Washington, by regular commentator Peter Morici.
