'Giant Corruption Conspiracy' Inquiry in South Africa

Available for over a year

South Africa's parliament is beginning an inquiry into alleged corruption in government. We hear what sort of allegations the inquiry will be examining. Also in the programme, Japan goes to the polls this weekend. Our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics tells us how the country's economy is likely to affect the vote. Plus, there are indications that China no longer wants to process recyclable material shipped from all over the world. We have a report on the likely impact on a country like the UK, and find out more from Martin Rett, recycling spokesperson for the UK's Local Government Association.
