Framing Britney Spears
The singer's financial arrangements come under scrutiny in a new documentary series
Since a public breakdown in 2007, the singer Britney Spears's financial affairs have been controlled by others under a system known as conservatorship. She is now pursuing legal proceedings to try and take back control; we hear from Liz Day, senior editor of a new documentary series about the singer, 'Framing Britney Spears.' As the latest stage in the impeachment trial of former president Donald Trump comes to an end, we get the latest from the 成人快手's Lebo Diseko. Germany's government is said to have agreed a new law to combat worker abuses overseas. We find out what鈥檚 behind the move from Miriam Saage-Maass, vice legal director at the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights. Also in the programme, the new African Continental Free Trade Area opened in January with the promise of transforming the region's economies. The 成人快手's Tamasin Ford reports on the poverty reducing potential the bloc represents, and asks whether the agreement goes far enough to promote gender equality. Kai Ryssdale from APM's Marketplace tells us about the $1.9 trillion economic relief plan the new President Biden wants to pass. Plus, as the Lunar New Year holiday starts in the shadow of the pandemic, the 成人快手鈥檚 Victoria Craig explains how people are finding ways to celebrate. And we're joined throughout the programme by Sharon Brettkelly, presenter of The Detail podcast on Radio New Zealand.
