Google Fights Global 'Right to be Forgotten'

Google is fighting a bid to extend European rules allowing a 'right to be forgotten'.

Google is fighting a bid to extend European rules allowing a 'right to be forgotten'. We get analysis from Emma Woollcott, head of reputation protection at the law firm Mishcon de Reya. Also in the programme, Venezuela plans to issue gold-backed certificates as a more stable way for people to hold money. We ask senior 大象传媒 editor Vladimir Hernandez whether the plan has any merit. We have a report on how the global financial crisis has impacted young people's ability to buy their own home, and look back at the crisis a decade on with our regular economic commentator, Roger Bootle of Capital Economics. Plus we hear about a revival of the traditional penny farthing bicycle, famous for its very large front wheel, and tiny rear wheel.
