WBR: Right To Be Forgotten - Privacy Vs Free Speech 24 July 14

Thu, 24 Jul 14

The implementation¹ of the 'Right To Be Forgotten' on the internet is being discussed in Brussels - where two sides discuss where to draw the line between privacy and free speech. GlaxoSmithKline is seeking for regulators to approve the world's first ever malaria² vaccine³ to be used outside of the European Union - we ask how effective it really is. Also, six years after the financial crisis, how protected is the American taxpayer⁴ from having to bail⁵ out another failing bank? Finally, we hear the latest from the fist ever case of someone being convicted for wine fraud.
