Volkswagen says sorry again - this time in the Britain. Paul Willis, managing director of VW UK was grilled by MPs as part of a Select Committee enquiry into the company's use of so-called defeat devices. Nine months on from when gunmen stormed the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people, we ask how a small magazine recovers from a terrorist attack. We speak to Angus Deaton, winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. He was chosen for his work on consumer choices, especially among the poor, which has helped shape economic policy around the world. And, can you trust on-line reviews? We hear from a journalist who bought fake reviews for a fake book, which ended up topping Amazon's gardening book charts. Throughout the programme we are joined by Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto and Madhavan Narayanan of the Hindustan Times in Delhi.
