Huge Dark Web Drug Sites Shut Down

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Two of the largest dark web marketplaces have been shut down following an investigation. The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones explains how the authorities targeted the AlphaBay and Hansa sites. Also in the programme, the latest round of Brexit talks have concluded in Brussels. James Randerson at Politico in Brussels tells us where progress has been made, and what sticking points remain. As part of a day of programmes looking at the cost of childcare around the world, the BBC's Yogita Limaye reports from Mumbai, India on workplaces that offer employees childcare on site, and the BBC's Samira Hussein in New York tells us about businesses offering summer day camp programmes for kids. Plus BBC arts editor Will Gompertz brings us the surreal story of how artist Salvador Dali's body is being dug up, to settle a dispute over his estate.
