Spain debates lockdown extension

Available for over a year

Spain's parliament has seen a fierce debate over whether to extend lockdown powers. Pilar Velasco is a journalist at the radio network Cadena SER, and explains what's at stake. Also in the programme, we examine the state of India's agriculture sector. The BBC's Nikhil Inamdar and Devina Gupta report on the difficulties farmers face in getting their crops harvested, and a host of other challenges caused by the coronavirus lockdown. Lee Jae-Yong, who runs the South Korean conglomerate Samsung, has apologised for his, and the company's, past misconduct. He also said that Samsung would allow workers to join unions, which it has aggressively resisted for decades. We find out more from Geoffrey Cain, author of Samsung Rising. Plus, we remember Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk, who died at the age of 73. Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 and Human League tells us about his memories of the godfather of electronic music and a man who still influences today's artists.
