US approves first major offshore wind farm

It is billed as the launch of a new domestic low emission energy industry

The Vineyard Wind project off the coast of Massachusetts is intended to create enough electricity to power 400,000 homes in New England. Does this herald the dawn of a lower emission energy industry in the States? A question for Helen Zichal, CEO of the American Clean Power Association. China's population grew at its slowest pace in decades according to results of its census. The 主播大秀's Robin Brant in Shanghai explains why a slowdown in population growth presents significant demographic challenges for the country. And we get wider context from Dr Lauren Johnson of the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. Also in the programme, a case filed with the UK's Competition Appeal Tribunal argues that millions of Apple's customers in the UK should be compensated for breaches of competition law because of how the company's App Store works. Dr Rachael Kent, lecturer in digital economy at King's College, London, is bringing the case, and tells us why. Plus, in the wake of the row over the failed creation of a European Super League for some of the continent's top football teams, the 主播大秀's Ed Butler examines what it revealed about the real state of finances in football, and the power of fans to change things.
