Saudi Corruption Probe Widens

Dozens of businessmen and members of the Saudi royal family have been detained.

Dozens of businessmen and members of the Saudi royal family have been detained. We get reaction from John Sfakianakis of the Gulf Research Centre in Riyadh. Also in the programme, the US commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, has denied misleading Congress after leaked documents, known as the Paradise Papers, exposed his involvement in a company with links to the Kremlin. We have a report from the latest UN climate change conference which is getting under way in Bonn, Germany. We hear about a soccer team set up in Andalucia in southern Spain, to ease difficulties migrants face on their arrival in Europe. Plus China is imposing heavy fines on internet shopping websites which publish false adverts about their products. Duncan Clark, author of Alibaba: The house that Jack Ma built, explains the background to the move.
