Facebook's parent company Meta is mandating a booster Covid vaccination for office staff. It's the latest in a string of companies making life difficult for the unvaccinated, and we assess the legal picture around such moves with Richard Fox, who's an employment lawyer with the UK law firm Kingsley Napley. Also in the programme, we ask whether the global economy needs to start dismantling what's known as 'global white privilege', beyond the challenge of boosting the prospects of those from ethnic minorities in rich western countries. We find out more from Chandran Nair who has written a book on the topic. The British Museum is to sell 20 watercolour paintings by JMW Turner in the form of digital assets, or non-fungible tokens. The sale is being handled by the company La Collection, and its chief executive Jean-Sebastien Beaucamps explains the thinking behind the move. Plus, one of the biggest illegal darknet websites, Torrez, has gone offline, after two years of selling Class A drugs, counterfeit cash and hacking tools. But with new sites popping up all the time, the 大象传媒's cyber reporter Joe Tidy tells us how resilient this small but significant part of the drugs economy has become.

Today's edition is presented by Rob Young, and produced by Tom Kavanagh and George Thomas.
