Available for over a year

A special programme live from South Korea, said to be the most wired country on the planet. We visit Samsung's headquarters to try out iris recognition and meet a music-playing fridge.

South Korea's biggest shipping company, Hanjin, files for bankruptcy protection, causing global supply chain chaos. Plus, the country has the lowest birth rate in the OECD group of most developed nations and according to some estimates, there may not be any more South Koreans in 150 years time. We find out why Korean women so reluctant to have a family. (Photo: Sungnyemun Gate, Seoul, South Korea. Credit: Getty.)
