Saudi Arabia: Companies Boycott Investor Conference

Available for over a year

Companies and media organisations are boycotting an investor conference in Saudi Arabia amid rising concern about the disappearance in Turkey of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Also in the programme, should lithium to be traded on the London Metals Exchange? And - you buy a purse at Walmart. There's a note inside - apparently from a prisoner in China - saying I made your nice new bag - and I'm incarcerated in terrible conditions and the guards are stealing my food. What do you do? What does Walmart do? For journalist Rossalyn Warren the note led to a detective operation that took her halfway around the world in search of answers. Fergus Nicoll is joined throughout the programme by Radio New Zealand's Auckland bureau chief Sharon Brettkelly.
