Peter White examines plans to sell bottled sea water to enhance cooking and finds out what the Outward Bound Trust is doing with deprived young people 70 years on.

Peter White find out about plans to sell bottled Scottish sea water. Aimed at the culinary market it's not for drinking straight but it is hoped that it'll find favour - and flavour - with cooks and restaurants. Also, 70 years on from its creation, the Outward Bound Trust is still sending young people, often from deprived areas in the UK, to challenging environments, taking them out of their usual routines and giving them a taste of outdoor adventure and leadership. Is the great outdoors still a relevant tool with which to tackle deprivation and hardship amongst young people? The future of electric cars is in the spotlight as Radio 4 Presenter Peter Curran prepares for his 4,500 mile trip across Western Europe in an electric car. And Boeing's new Dreamliner 787 aircraft is two years late for delivery. Peter talks to airline industry expert John Strickland to find out what's causing the delay.
