The other is an interview with Nick Dearden of the World Development Movement about the threat posed to our democracy by the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) - the free trade deal between Europe and the US which would give new legal rights to corporations to sue national governments for loss of profits for enacting social and environmental legislation.
