Indian Farmers Stage Protest in Mumbai

Thousands of Indian farmers marched to Mumbai to protest prices, loans and land rights.

Thousands of Indian farmers marched to Mumbai to protest prices, loans and land rights. We explain the background to the dispute. Also in the programme, the charity One which was co-founded by the singer Bono has apologised following allegations of bullying, harassment and abuse of staff in South Africa. We get the latest from Johannesburg. As part of our plastics week, we visit the Philippines to report on a success story in the tourism industry there. British farmers are concerned about an experimental electric fishing technique, which they say is devastating stocks. We hear why Dutch vessels have been allowed to trial 'pulse fishing', which is technically banned under EU law. Plus as the death of the French fashion icon Hubert de Givenchy is announced, we look back on his life with Elizabeth Paton, fashion correspondent for the New York Times.
