World Business Report

Available for over a year

A BBC investigation has exposed poor working conditions at factories in China producing for electronics giant Apple. Reporter Richard Bilton tells us what he discovered. Also the EU's most senior court rules that obese people could be entitled to the same protection at work as disabled people. We hear from a clinically obese fitness instructor who campaigns on behalf of overweight and obese people. And Lucy Burton reports from the hydroelectric Kariba Dam on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, as the World Bank pledges $275m in cash to fund repairs.
