What price the destruction of ancient sites?

We ask whether the punitive measures imposed on bosses at miner Rio Tinto are enough.

Two ancient and archaeologically priceless rock shelters in Western Australia were destroyed earlier this year by the mining company Rio Tinto. On this episode of Business Weekly we ask whether the punitive measures imposed on senior executives this week are enough. Also could biotechnology transform the way we eat and the way we treat animals? We’ll be investigating the future of food and we’ll find out how a cat food made from mouse meat could be made - without harming any mice.  As workers in the UK are seemingly unwilling to return to city centre offices during the Coronavirus pandemic, we’ll wonder what these spaces will look like in the years to come. And we’ll look at the romance scammers who are conning lonely hearts on social media.

Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
