424. Scientific asylum, Japan's death row and solar slavery
About this episode
Will academics leave American universities? Could an acquittal force Japan to rethink the death penalty? And are we turning a blind eye to modern slavery in solar panel factories? Olly Mann and The Week delve behind the headlines and debate what really matters from the past seven days. With Deborah Frances-White, Irenie Forshaw and Catriona Stewart
