BBC World Service - The World This Week, The end of privacy?

The Panama papers tell us that absolute privacy can no longer be guaranteed.

One big message emerges from the Panama papers data-leak: that however hard you try, your most sensitive financial secrets could still find their way into the public domain. It's a bit of a wake-up call... Also in this programme/podcast: diabetes, the price of prosperity; how to escape jail if you're an African leader; and is Libya moving closer to getting a proper government?
