Tech firms are being asked to declare that their gadgets are made without the use of minerals whose sale could fund violence in developing nations. Should we believe their assurances?

Presenter Rory Cellan-Jones is joined by Dave Lee and Mark Ward from the 大象传媒 online technology desk, with special guest Ning Li, founder of the furniture e-commerce site Made.com.
