A New Row Over Internet Spying

BBC World Service - World Business Report, A New Row Over Internet Spying

Seven internet service providers are suing a UK intelligence agency. Why are they upset?

Seven internet service providers are suing a UK intelligence agency. We hear what has upset them. Plus, is airport expansion economic common sense, or plain crazy?

Seven internet service providers from around the world have filed a legal complaint against the British intelligence agency GCHQ. We find out what they are so angry about, and get reaction from a former spy. Also in the programme, airport expansion - economic common sense, or plain crazy? We hear both sides of the argument.

Plus, Denmark has just given its local councils the right to ban begging. We talk to politicians, Danes and Roma beggars, about the move.
