The German chemical firm Bayer is to pay out nearly $11bn to settle cancer claims linked to its Roundup weedkiller, whilst denying any wrongdoing by the firm. We discuss the extent to which such weedkillers are used in UK farming with Joe Stanley, a beef and arable farmer who works in central England. And we get further reaction from Anja Hazekamp, a Member of the European Parliament from the Netherlands, who sits on the parliament's Environmental Committee.

Also in the programme, some US private schools have re-examined issues of racism after George Floyd's death. Ayo Lewis and Ashley Prescott describe some of the issues they faced as black students at an elite New York private school. Harvard Graduate School professor Anthony Abraham Jack is author of The Privileged Poor, and tells us access to elite colleges doesn't always mean inclusion. And Shartoyea Scott Dixon, vice president of campus programmes at Management Leadership for Tomorrow explains why the number of black MBA students at Harvard University has remained stagnant for three decades.

Plus, on International Day of the Seafarer, we examine the plight of ship crew members who are stuck on vessels as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, with Bob Sanguinetti, chief executive of the UK Chamber of Shipping.
