Volkswagen Chief Winterkorn Resigns

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Volkswagen Chief Winterkorn Resigns

How much more damage could the emissions-rigging scandal  do to Volkswagen?

We ask how much more damage the emissions-rigging scandal could do to Volkswagen. Our reporter Theo Leggett is at VW's HQ in Germany, and we have analysis from Jim Holder of Haymarket Automotive.

The mining giant Glencore is to cut thousands of jobs in Africa. Mining expert Nick Stanajevic tells us why, and Zambian economist Maambo Haamaundu tells us how the news is being received there. Also, we hear how graffiti artist Banksy's Dismaland project is packing in visitors at the British seaside. Plus the taxi service Uber has suffered another legal setback in France. The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris brings us up to speed.
