US West Coast Ports at a Stand-Still

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

A prolonged labour crisis at West Coast seaports means the gateways for international trade have become more like car parks for massive cargo ships. We'll hear from both sides of the dispute and find out what the long term economic costs for the sector could be. We also got to Uganda where second hand clothes from rich western nations are in high demand. Facebook says it is creating a legacy option for friends and family to manage the page of a deceased loved one. The company tells us why they decided to do it - and we get reaction from a widower. In tribute to New Romantic pioneer Steve Strange who has died we'll be asking about why certain youth movements capture the imagination.
