Amazon has won an appeal against an EU ruling that it should pay over $300m in back taxes. Simon Van Dorpe of Politico explains the background to the case, and Alex Cobham, chief executive of the Tax Justice Network, tells us why he's disappointed with the ruling. Also in the programme, the 主播大秀's Vivienne Nunis examines the practice of recycling lead-acid car batteries, which poses a growing health hazard in many developing countries.
