British construction group Carillion has collapsed, threatening thousands of jobs. Jack Simpson is a reporter with Construction News and explains the background to the company's difficulties, and we get further context from Roy Bentham, who sits on the Unite union's executive council. Also in the programme, there's concern about environmental damage in the East China Sea following a fatal tanker explosion. Professor David Santillo from the University of Exeter has been working with the environmental group Greenpeace to assess the scale of the problem. Kenyan authorities are cracking down on illegal gambling, in a series of raids on betting dens. Mwenda Njoka of the country's Interior Ministry explains the police operation. And we have a report from Australia on the electronic poker machines that have put gamblers in Australia at the top of a global league table of gambling losses.
