UK MPs target Amazon and Apple over e-waste

Available for over a year

The UK Parliament's Environmental Audit Committee wants electronics firms to help recycle. Philip Dunne chairs the committee, and tells us why its report on Electronic Waste and the Circular Economy focuses on encouraging manufacturers to tackle e-waste rather than consumers. And Janet Gunter, co-founder of the Restart Project, which helps people to repair broken consumer electronics, discusses why the practice has gone out of fashion. Also in the programme, we find out why German authorities are seeking a European Union deal to close ski resorts this winter amid coronavirus fears. The BBC's Tamasin Ford reports on why Africa seems to be outperforming other parts of the world economically in the wake of the pandemic. Plus, we hear from JP Teti, founder of Passyunk Avenue restaurant in London, about how the firm is helping Americans in the city enjoy Thanksgiving under lockdown.
