BBC World Service - World Business Report, Nigerian police brutality protests spread

Protests against police brutality in Nigeria continue, across the country and others

In Nigeria, protests against police brutality are shifting to a new focus – why some are treated worse than others because of their place in the economy; we hear from young people in Lagos who say the police are ‘messing with the wrong generation’. Also, it's been in place for 75 years, but a water sharing deal between the US and Mexico is in danger because of allegations of corruption, and climate change. Plus, vegetarian burgers may soon have to be labelled as ‘discs’, and meat-free sausages as ‘tubes’, as pro-meat and pro-vegetarian groups await an outcome from the European parliament that will determine how plant-based products are labelled.
