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.' 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. Plus, on Lunar New Year and with lockdowns in place in the UK, we meet Mark House, director of LuBan Kitchen in Liverpool, which has seen a surge in orders from people ordering the firm鈥檚 Chinese meal kits.
