BBC World Service - World Business Report, British MPs Vote for Heathrow Airport Expansion

Politicians voted in favour of a plan to build a third runway at Europe's busiest airport

Politicians voted in favour of a controversial plan to build a third runway at Europe's busiest airport.

Politicians in Westminster have voted in favour of a controversial plan to build a third runway at Europe's busiest airport. UK Ministers say the project will create tens of thousands of jobs. We hear from David Leam of the business lobby group London First, which supports the move, and Oliver Hayes of Friends of the Earth, which is opposed. Elsewhere, riot police in Iran have used tear gas to disperse the biggest anti-government protests for several years. With major concerns over rising prices, is the 40-year-old regime in danger? Dr Suzanne Maloney from the Brookings Institution gives her view. Harley-Davidson is planning to shift some motorcycle production out of the US to avoid European Union tariffs. Eshe Nelson from quartz.com has been following developments. Clashes between nomadic Fulani herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria have left 86 dead. Dr Ini Dele-Adedeji of London's School of Oriental and African Studies tells us that the herdsmen are seeking more fertile lands in the centre of the country, because of the desertification of the Sahel region. Plus, as the UK singles chart takes account of video streaming in its calculations for the first time, Ludo Hunter-Tilney, pop critic at the Financial Times, tells us how it could impact the music business.
