Processed Meat and Cancer
More Or Less asks if processed meats are as cancer- causing as cigarettes, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Trending reveals on air groping that went viral and the Why Factor looks at our love of cycling.
In More Or Less Ruth Alexander investigates whether processed meats are as cancer-causing as cigarettes, and asks if the Rugby World Cup has caused the most injuries to date?
´óÏó´«Ã½ Trending reports on the on-air sexual harassment that got Mexico talking - when presenter Tania Reza was groped live on air by her co-host, Enrique Tovar, the clip went viral. As the saga unfolded, she and her co-host were both fired after making a video brushing it off as a social media stunt. Tania then claimed that she was pressured into making the video with Enrique. So what does the incident – and the huge reaction online - tell us about women’s rights in Mexico?
´óÏó´«Ã½ Trending also investigates one of the internet’s most popular memes known as the ‘Sceptical Third World Kid’. What’s the story behind the photo? And are depictions of third-world children exploitative?
And in the Why Factor, Mike Williams asks why the bicycle - and cycling – which started out as a faddish leisure pursuit quickly became the world’s most popular means of transport and remains so to this day. What lies behind its mass appeal?
