Shell Agrees $84m Nigeria Oil Spill Payout

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The oil giant agrees to compensate Nigerian fishermen and other residents in part of the Niger Delta devastated by two large oil spills in 2008 and 2009. The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones is live from the CES in Las Vegas where technology you can wear is the talk of the show. Oil prices continue to tumble - we ask former Obama energy adviser Jason Bordoff how low they might go and when consumers will feel the benefits. And we speak to American woman Lauren Singer, who says she's managed to avoid throwing away any rubbish for more than two years. Joining presenter Manuela Saragosa are Paddy Hirsch, a senior editor for the US public radio programme Marketplace and Anne Stevenson-Yang of J Capital Research in Beijing.
