China’s One Child Policy

BBC World Service - The Thought Show, China’s One Child Policy

More Or Less investigates the impact on population growth of China’s one child policy

More Or Less investigates the impact of China’s one child policy, BBC Trending reports on the online naming of Ku Klux Klan members and the Why Factor looks at food allergies.

More Or Less investigates the impact on population growth of China’s one child policy. Now that parents in China will be allowed to have two children, which country will have the largest population in 2030 - China or India? Ruth Alexander presents.

BBC Trending reports on the release by the hackers group Anonymous of the names of hundreds of people who they claim are members of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan. But what happens when hackers get it wrong and falsely label people as KKK sympathisers?

And, a report from Brazil where a 12-year-old contestant on cooking competition Masterchef Junior was harassed online. The incident prompted feminist Juliana de Faria to create a campaign for women to share their first experiences of sexual harassment. Thousands of women shared their stories.

Plus, Why Factor asks why a growing number of people worldwide believe they are intolerant to certain foods and whether developing nations will end up with the same levels of allergies. Mike Williams reports.
