Spying on the EU & nuclear-funded education [E52]

Published 26 Feb, 2014 15:15 | Updated 26 Feb, 2014 12:38

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the EU's inquiry into GCHQ and NSA spying. Claude Moraes MEP, who co-authored the paper which launched the probe, says mass surveillance could be illegal. We discover why nuclear weapons research is funding the UK's top universities. Jeremy Hunt hires a 'whistleblower-in-chief' to inspect the NHS – but are his checks being carried out while wearing rose-tinted glasses? James Bartholomew, author of a book that reportedly inspired the infamous Bedroom Tax, defends the banking sector – and blames society for relying on the welfare state. Plus, why you could soon be borrowing money on Facebook – and named and shamed publicly if you can't pay it back.
