No survivors from Alps plane crash

BBC World Service - Business Matters, No survivors from Alps plane crash

A Germanwings plane carrying 150 people crashes in the French Alps

A Germanwings plane carrying 150 people has crashed in the French Alps on its way from Barcelona to Düsseldorf. It's thought that are no survivors. The black box has been found but at the moment investigators don't know what caused the crash.

On Wednesday the first ever treaty aimed at tackling the trafficking of human organs will be signed - but what forces someone to give up a kidney?

We'll also ask why is it so hard for women in America to break into the blue collar job market?

Also, could a widely used weedkiller cause cancer in humans - a UN health organisation thinks it's probable, but Monsanto, the manufacturers, say that's not true. 

Joining us on the show are Mitchell Hartman, a Senior Reporter at Marketplace in Portland, Oregon and Anne Stevenson-Yang a Research Director at J-Capital Research in Beijing.
