Are international companies doing enough to remove Uighur slave labour?

Are international companies doing enough to remove Uighur slave labour when using Chinese suppliers?

As evidence mounts that Chinese authorities are continuing to incarcerate Uighur Muslims in work camps in the North West of the country we’ll discuss the steps foreign companies should be taking to ensure their businesses don’t benefit from enforced labour.
We’ll also have a report on what could be the most severe housing crisis in the recent history of the US. In yet another consequence of the coronavirus pandemic -  tenants are struggling to keep up rental payments. 
As lessons resume across many parts of the world we’ll hear how some countries are managing to teach children who can’t go back to the classroom - and don’t have access to computers or the internet.

Plus, as facemarks become compulsory in shared workplaces in France we hear from a top health expert who says mask wearing should be non-negotiable.

Business weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Clare Williamson.
