The two men accused of helping Nissan’s former boss Carlos Ghosn flee Japan in a box

This week, two Americans went on trial in Japan, accused of smuggling former Nissan chief executive, Carlos Ghosn, out of the country in a music equipment box. On Business Weekly, we ask why they did it and if Mr Ghosn will ever face Japanese justice. Plus we hear from the broadcaster, author and activist Gretchen Carlson about the role she played in the #metoo movement. She sued her former boss at Fox News for sexual harassment and says more has to be done to protect women in the workplace. And how do you deliver bad news? We have a special report on the art of making employees redundant. Do you deliver bad news over Zoom or in person? Or just cancel their work passes? We learn how to do it properly. Plus, as prospectors descend on a small South African village, we hear how the discovery of what might be a diamond could potentially transform lives in one of South Africa’s poorest rural areas. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
