​Is Britain on brink of another financial crash? [E80]

Published 21 May, 2014 08:28 | Updated 21 May, 2014 07:23

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the UK’s failing economy with former Treasury advisor James Meadway. He warns that the government growth figures are deceptive – and we could very well be faced with a much gloomier financial forecast. Michelle Obama’s gone viral, but only because of her husband’s obsession with drones, and Britain seems all too happy to help. The government is planning to spend nearly 300 million pounds to encourage us to support foreign wars. We look at the most likely candidate to take over the BBC Trust, former Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer. Plus, Iranian diplomacy could be collapsing, but is the mainstream media to blame for stereotypes? And Google will now have to delete search results if an individual requests it – unless our very own Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has his way.
