The UN has estimated the global Cost of Corruption at some 5% of the world's Gross Domestic Product.
Today our sister programme Business Daily has been looking at this - specifically through the lens of shipping, and the demands of routine bribery facing sea-farers. Many of the goods we buy and consume have at some stage reached us by cargo ship... But for the seafarers who make that happen, it’s not always an easy process. Ruth Alexander of Business Daily and The Food Chain tells more about this.
Also, we hear from a very upset passenger, who's been trying to fly away from the destroyed by floods airport in Dubai. And we find out why a coalition of Nestlé shareholders is demanding to increase healthy food sales.
