WBR: French Alps Plane Crash 24 Mar¹ 15

Tue, 24 Mar 15

Accident investigators² look for answers as to why a Germanwings Airbus A320 travelling between Barcelona and Düsseldorf crashed in the French Alps. One of the black boxes has been found, what answers will it provide? Also, could a widely used weedkiller cause cancer in humans - a UN health organisation³ thinks it's probable, but Monsanto the manufacturers say that's not true. They're on the programme. And for the first time in 40 years, there's zero inflation in the UK. A blessing⁴ or a curse?
