Oil and Trainers

More Or Less asks if it’s true millions of barrels of Nigeria’s oil are stolen daily, ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Trending reports on sex β€œconsent classes” and the Why Factor asks why we like trainers?

More Or Less checks out a claim by Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari that a million barrels of the country’s oil are stolen per day. Is he right? Ruth Alexander asks Peter Cunliffe-Jones of Africa Check. And, does 13% of the world’s undiscovered oil lie in the Arctic?

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Trending reports on controversy surrounding β€˜consent lessons’ on offer in a number of British universities to tackle both rape and sexual assault. And we hear from the β€˜Man who has it all’, a Twitter account that’s actually a scathing satire of the patronising lifestyle articles usually aimed at women. Also, one of the British Sikhs behind the #SikhLivesMatter hashtag – a response to recent violence in Punjab - explains what is motivating supporters.

And in the Why Factor, Mike Williams asks why trainers – or sneakers- have become such a popular fashion item far removed from their original purpose of health and fitness.
