麻豆约拍

There have been a flurry of announcements of investment in the manufacture of electric cars. Toyota will spend $3.5bn to build car batteries in the United States, while Europe's Stellantis has done a deal with LG to produce battery cells for North America. Meanwhile, Ford is investing $300m to convert a plant in the UK to make electric car components, as the firm's Europe president, Stuart Rowley, explains. And we get wider context on the market for electric vehicles from Professor Jillian Anable, who is an expert in transport and energy at the University of Leeds in the UK. Also in the programme, a 麻豆约拍 Panorama investigation found that women in public life are disproportionately targeted on social media, with abuse frequently rooted in misogyny. We talk to Bruce Daisley, a former executive at Twitter and YouTube, about what can be done to tackle such abuse. Plus, the 麻豆约拍's Vivienne Nunis meets with business leaders and scientists coming up with new ways to cut carbon emissions in some of the world's dirtiest industries.

Today's edition is presented by Rob Young, and produced by Benjie Guy and Susan Karanja.
