Samsung has apologised to employees who fell sick or died after working in its factories. 118 people are believed to have passed away after handling hazardous substances, and Cho Muhyun, Samsung watcher in Seoul for the website ZDNet, explains the background. Also in the programme, on Black Friday, the biggest shopping event of the year in North America, we take the temperature of the retail economy, and hear from Greenpeace's Lu Yen Roloff about why the environmental charity is urging people to buy less stuff. We have a report from Lisbon, Portugal, on whether the city is facing difficulties as a result of having too many tourists. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Jim Edwards of Business Insider UK, and Nina Trentmann of the Wall Street Journal.
