Available for over a year

Facebook has been accused of breaking UK equality law in the way it handles job adverts.

And we get wider context from Eddie Hammerman, managing director of marketing agency The 10 Group. Also in the programme, we find out why the issue of climate change has become such a dominant theme in the upcoming German federal elections. Plus, the BBC's Ben King reports on the origins and growing popularity of the latest must have playground craze, Pop-its, which are bright rubber toys covered in little bubbles that you push in and out.
