Conflict minerals

Evidence which links minerals used in mobile phones with armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo, plus how to cope when you're fired, and, the German reaction to Ireland's rescue.

The 大象传媒 has heard evidence that a group which carried out mass rapes in the Democratic Republic of Congo were armed and funded by the profits from local mines. The 大象传媒's Paul Moss reports from Eastern Congo.

Plus Fiona Dent from Ashridge Business School advises on how to act, if you are suddenly made redundant.

And the 大象传媒's Berlin correspondent Steve Evans explains why Germany's newspapers are less bothered about Ireland's rescue than they were about the Greek bailout.
