Fighting Hungary’s 'Slave Law'

Available for over a year

We look at the protests against a law which means employers can demand 400 hours of overtime a year. Nick Thorpe in Budapest examines the roots of a crisis that has united Hungary’s divided opposition. Pascale Harter introduces this and other stories from around the world. Anne Soy returns to a town once known as Somalia’s "pirate capital". Lorraine Mallinder hears how one woman managed to save herself and her little granddaughter from the violence in Cameroon, a nation that is sliding towards a civil war. And Jeremy Bristow goes to Southern Turkey, to meet one of the world’s oldest Christian communities. The Syriacs are the guardians of the language that Jesus spoke - but today their numbers are dwindling, and they are fighting to keep their culture and traditions from extinction.
