Oil tanker pollution threatens Mauritius

An oil spill off Mauritius threatens one of the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystems.

An oil spill off Mauritius threatens one of the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystems. Happy Khambule is Greenpeace Africa's Climate and Energy Campaign Manager, and discusses the implications. Bloomberg's oil analyst Julian Lee explains why the MV Wakashio was so close to Mauritius in the first place. And Navin Ramgoolam, current opposition leader and former prime minister of Mauritius gives us his reaction. Also in the programme, the chief executive of food delivery service Just Eat, Jitse Groen, tells us why he wants to transition those that deliver food for the firm away from being gig workers towards becoming employees on staff contracts with more benefits. We hear from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Arunoday Mukharji in Delhi why new rules mean electric cars can now be sold without batteries, which could slash the cost by up to a third. Plus, we find out why Apple and Google have removed the popular game Fortnite from their smartphone app stores, from Shona Ghosh, UK technology editor of Business Insider.
