Published 2 Jun, 2014 12:41 | Updated 11 Jun, 2014 11:05

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on recent calls to nationalize AstraZeneca after Pfizer backed out of its controversial takeover bid.

Star of YouTube hit ‘Brothers With No Game’ Zephryn Taitte talks social change and the power of the internet in bringing down the likes of the BBC. Plus, we take a look at how the papers have been misleading you this past week. And why is Austria so concerned about its gold – which is stored in British vaults?
