It blamed dishonest companies and indifferent authorities. Also on the programme, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been under considerable pressure this week to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas, following the killing of six hostages in Gaza at the weekend -- we hear from Ron Dermer, Minister of Strategic Affairs and member of Israel's war cabinet; and, how botanical gardens and eBay are teaming up to combat plant smuggling.
