The Tokyo Olympics is predicted to lose $25bn without taking into account costs associated with the postponement. Then there are doubts over ticket sales and the revenue from sponsors. But Tokyo鈥檚 financial predicament is by no means unique. In fact, only one Olympics has ever made a profit for the hosts. We hear from Professor Andrew Zimbalist, author of Circus Maximus: The Economic Gamble Behind Hosting the Olympics and the World Cup, Jules Boykoff, a former professional and Olympic soccer player, Craig Reedie an IOC member and Luis Fernandes a member of the coordinating committee for Rio 2016. Plus, some of the world's biggest brands stand accused of profiting from forced labour camps in China. Could the clothes we wear be tainted by human rights abuses? We hear from Chloe Cranston, from Anti-Slavery International. Plus, we look at how a lack of advertising revenue is clipping the wings of the battered blue bird that is Twitter.
