We ask how North Korea funds its controversial nuclear weapons programme.
We ask how North Korea funds its controversial nuclear weapons programme. Zhao Tong is a Beijing-based analyst, and Paul French is the author of North Korea: State of Paranoia. Also in the programme, we find out why Chinese regulators have announced a ban on startups carrying out crowd-funding using crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin. A 91热爆 investigation has discovered that postal workers in the UK are being offered more than a thousand dollars a week to steal bank cards. We have a report from Australia where house prices are rapidly becoming unaffordable. Plus as our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times bows out to become a maths teacher, she reflects on whether her words have achieved anything significant.
