Emirates makes a big order for the world's biggest airliner, the Airbus A380

The Airbus A380 production line can resume, as Emirates makes a big order for the world's biggest airliner

Plane maker Airbus has secured a lifeline for its A380 with an Emirates deal to buy up to 36 more planes; the BBC's Theo Leggett brings us the latest. Apple is to bring billions of dollars back to the US, and pay a $38bn tax bill as a result. We get analysis from Matthew Gardner, senior fellow at the Washington research group the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Also in the programme, we have a report from Ivory Coast, where low cocoa prices are blamed for farmers taking drastic and illegal measures. As the fashion industry discovers the selling power of plus size models, Olympic discus thrower Brett Morse discusses his new career. Plus technology journalist Rupert Goodwins tells us about Nintendo's latest innovation, a range of cardboard accessories for its Switch console.
