China lobbies for bigger internet role

World Business Report

Available for over a year

China has held its first ever World Internet Conference. We hear what the country famous for its 'Great Firewall' might want to achieve. Also as oil giant Shell wins a case against the Indian government over tax, what kind of a precedent does it set for other multinationals operating there? Plus more from the BBC's Lucy Burton in Zambia, who investigates the devastating effects that the HIV virus continues to have on the southern African country. Also we talk to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation about how people can be encouraged to eat more healthily and what role international business should play. Plus why Namibia's house prices are soaring - and the British space team hoping to raise hundreds of millions through crowdfunding for a mission to the moon.
