Kobe Steel Scandal Sparks Car and Train Checks

Kobe Steel admitted it had falsified quality control data possibly for up to a decade.

Kobe Steel admitted it had falsified quality control data possibly for up to a decade. Robin Harding is Tokyo bureau chief for the Financial Times and brings us up to date on the scandal. Also in the programme, we ask our regular commentator, Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute, how likely it is that President Trump will achieve meaningful tax reform in the US. We report from Kenya, where there is confusion after opposition leader Raila Odinga announced his withdrawal from this month's presidential election. We travel to West Bengal to find out why production of Darjeeling tea has ceased there. Plus, we talk to Pete Ceglinski, co-founder of Seabin, to find out more about his invention to trap plastic in the world's waters.
