Police in Bangladesh used tear gas to disperse garment workers demanding better wages. Vidya Ambrin Khan owns a clothing factory in Chittagong in the south of the country, and offers her reaction to the protests. Also in the programme, after three days of US-China trade negotiations, our regular US economic commentator Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute tells us what is likely to happen next. As the world's biggest consumer electronics show continues in Las Vegas, our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones talks us through the most interesting trends that are emerging. We visit a software company in California which only employs people who are autistic. Plus as the US jewellery business Stella and Dot pulls out of Europe, Mhari Oakes, who manages 180 sales staff for the firm in the UK, tells us what impact the move is likely to have.
