Oxfam Report: Record Emergency Aid

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Oxfam Report: Record Emergency Aid

Oxfam provided nine million people with emergency aid last year, but says more is needed

Oxfam spent 7.7% more in a year where demands on aid reached unprecedented levels.

The charity Oxfam GB issues its annual report today, and it shows that public donations reached their second highest level, at more than 150 million dollars. But the demands on that aid have reached unprecedented levels. As we hear from the chief executive Mark Goldring.

Many senior Republicans have expressed anger or concern over Donald Trump's remarks about Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a Muslim US Army captain who was killed in Iraq. Now Mr Obama appears to be trying to drive a wedge more firmly between Mr Trump and those Republican loyalists. We hear from professor Thomas Hollihan from the University of California’s Annenberg School.

We are all becoming increasingly wary about the covert ways that our online activities and even physical location can be monitored and tracked by our phones and computers. I bet you didn't know your battery could be leaking information. Security analysts at Princeton have established a link. We hear from Lukasz Olejnik, a security and privacy consultant and researcher at University College London.

We are joined by David Kuo of the Motley Fool in Singapore and Andy Uhler, reporter with our US counterparts Marketplace in LA.
