大象传媒

Spain's parliament has seen a fierce debate over whether to extend lockdown powers. Pilar Velasco is a journalist at the radio network Cadena SER, and explains what's at stake. Also in the programme, we examine the state of India's agriculture sector. The 大象传媒's Nikhil Inamdar and Devina Gupta report on the difficulties farmers face in getting their crops harvested, and a host of other challenges caused by the coronavirus lockdown. Lee Jae-Yong, who runs the South Korean conglomerate Samsung, has apologised for his, and the company's, past misconduct. He also said that Samsung would allow workers to join unions, which it has aggressively resisted for decades. We find out more from Geoffrey Cain, author of Samsung Rising. Plus, 173 years after members of the Choctaw community in the United States sent famine relief to struggling potato farmers in Ireland, the favour is being repaid to today's Native Americans by sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Navajo people. Cassandra Begay is a member of the Navajo Nation, involved with an online funding campaign, and brings us the details.
