Pressure Builds on Volkswagen in the Emissions Scandal

World Business Report

Available for over a year

WV has appointed a new chairman. So what's the firm doing to put things right? Dr Colin Brown from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in Britain tells us about the scale of the company's challenges. Also in the programme, Alison Van Diggelen looks at how conservationists are trying to convince young hipsters in California to conserve water. We examine whether biotech firms should have the right to patent genes. Plus, as Suffragette gets its European premiere in London, we ask why there are so few female film directors. Kate Kinninmont is chief executive of Women in Film and Television, which campaigns to redress the balance. (Picture: Volkswagen badges. Picture credit: AFP)
