The oil giant Shell faces a trial over whether it hampered the phase-out of fossil fuels. Sara Shaw from Friends of the Earth outlines the case against the firm, and we get the perspective of Harry Brekelmans, projects and technology director at Shell. Also in the programme, the World Bank says the Lebanese authorities’ lack of policy action has caused the country’s continuing economic woes. We hear the background from Sami Halabi of Lebanon-based policy research firm Triangle. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Emma Simpson reports on the plight of self-employed and freelance workers in the UK who are unable to work because of the pandemic, but who have slipped through the social safety net provided by the government. Plus, with many more emails being sent as a result of so many people working from home, our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clarke considers some of the things to consider, and avoid, when drafting them.
