How did the technology star fall so quickly from grace?

Its been the biggest corporate scandal of 2020 so far. Wirecard was one of Germany’s biggest companies but now finds itself embroiled in fraud and corruption claims. How did the technology star fall so quickly from grace? Fergus Nicoll investigates. The coronavirus pandemic has taken its toll on the education sector - in the United States new rules say foreign students might face deportation if their courses have gone online, throwing their lives into disarray. Rob Young hears their stories. And what’s the formula behind a winning brand? We join Elizabeth Hotson on a quest to bring out a winning range of mushy peas. Presented by Vishala Sri-Pathma.
