The lives changed by coronavirus

The most compelling reports from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ business programmes over the past week

The most compelling reports and interviews from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's business programmes over the past week. We take a close look at the future of global supply chains and hear from garment workers in Bangladesh who are begging western clothing companies to support their workers. Also remember the excitement over the historically low oil prices at the beginning of the week? We hear from Pulitzer Prize winning author Daniel Yergin who explains why all may not be quite as it seemed. A group of domestic workers tell us they have been forgotten about during the pandemic - laid off and often stranded in foreign countries. We’ll ask if there is a moral obligation to pay home help. Plus we’ll hear from a group of workers who are now more in demand than ever - milkmen! Presented by Lucy Burton.
