LA in lockdown

BBC World Service - Business Matters, LA in lockdown

Los Angeles Mayor, Eric Garcetti, has issued an order for residents to stay at home, warning that the city is approaching a “devastating tipping point” in its fight against coronavirus. In India, farmers are protesting against new agricultural laws which they say will benefit only big private agribusiness. And staying in India, we hear why Ranjitsinh Disale, the winner of the Global Teacher Prize has donated half of his winnings to the other shortlisted candidates. Plus, the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, has launched a campaign targeting an unlikely enemy - food waste, via the Clean Plate Campaign, as we hear from the BBC's Ivana Davidovic. And joining us throughout the programme are Paddy Hirsch, contributing editor at National Public Radio in Los Angeles and the journalist and writer Madhavan Narayanan is in New Delhi.
