WBR: Bangladesh Factory Owners Charged With Murder

Mon, 1 Jun 15

The owner of the Rana Plaza¹ factory complex has been charged with murder. We hear from the BBC's Akbar Hossein in Bangladesh, and discuss the issues with Sam Mayer, from the campaign group "Labour Behind the Label", which has been campaigning on behalf of Bangladeshi garment workers. Also in the programme, the tale of the $200,000 Apple 1 computer, which was thrown away - and recovered by garbage men. Robert Dowell at the National Museum of Computing² at Bletchley Park here in the UK tells us why the computer is so valuable. Plus our regular commentator³ Lucy Kellaway launches a campaign against the phenomenon of "humble-bragging" on social media.
