but hers wasn‘t the only complaint. the company‘s been forced to fire more than 20 people after uncovering 215 other allegations of harassment. and the firm‘s problems do not stop there. it‘s suffered a series of high profile resignations in recent months, including its chief financial officer, and, most recently, head of business emil michael. all this has meant a lot of pressure on the chief executive, here behind me, travis kalanick. in march, a video of him getting into a foul mouthed row with an uber driver went viral, and he was forced to make a very public apology. all that in world business report. also, we‘ll go to spain, where prime minister mariano rajoy is facing a vote of no—confidence. the vote, which was called

"putin is a thief", they shouted. and "one, two, three, putin, it‘s time to leave." families accidentally caught up in the violence fled. police detained hundreds of protesters. the police have been telling the crowd that people don‘t have the right to protest here. the protesters have been saying they don‘t need permission, that it‘s russia day, it‘s their day too. there were anti—corru ption demonstrations in more than 100 russian towns. as for the man who had organised this nationwide protest, the opposition leader alexei navalny, he was detained

as he left home. vladimir putin said nothing today about the protests. instead, he played tour guide at the kremlin to a group of children. this is how president putin would rather be seen. not as a corrupt leader but as father of the nation. and certainly not everyone today was in the mood to criticise the government. in moscow, this patriotic festival on the same street as the protest was celebrating russian military might. "protests don‘t make life better," he says, "not one revolution has ever brought anything good." up the road, this was no russian revolution but it was a display of defiance from those people, many of them young russians, who believe their country needs change. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow.

oui’ the clothes we dress our children in our special. they can take on a sentimental value. so you may be surprised to learn there is a growing trend in denmark or parents to rent used baby clothes. it is the brainchild of this woman. for three yea rs brainchild of this woman. for three years she has been running her baby clothing when thailand fire from this laundry factory on the outskirts of the bargain. we used to run another kids were banned —— brand, and after ten years in that business founder said it was not just about making a green product but changing the whole system in which we consume children‘s clothes. globally, only about 20% of the clothes we buy get reused or recycled. in a bid to get people to reuse" officially, the company produces bags like this, containing a selection of a bee items the company makes. members pay a monthly fee and get sent in the post packs of baby clothes updated with larger

sizes as their family grows. in between being used by families, the clothes get washed in this industrial cleaner. for half the price of the average per the membership on lieu can buy six baby clothes on the high street in denmark to keep. so who is the target market here? this family are one of 3000 who have signed up in the last two years. denmark is maybe ahead of other nations in that sense, to be concerned about the environment. the environment we pass on to our children. a small but growing number of companies are now offering to rent out clothes. it is pa rt offering to rent out clothes. it is part of a movement called the circular economy. people have come familiar with the idea of access rather than ownership, whether it is bikes, cars, some winglike dvds or cds, through something like spotify, people are questioning traditional ideas of ownership. i think that will happen more and more with clothes. so-called fast fashion has broughtjobs to developing countries, and also affordable

the very first scientific study into the impact of the clocks going forward. and what they wanted to find out was... what impact the clocks going forward had now sleep and our concentration. and? the results are in! but the results are not what they expected. this is how they tested reaction times before and after the clock changed. but also reaction times before and after the lunch break. almost 1000 children carried out these tests first thing in the morning and again in the afternoon. initially we thought we would look into before and after the clock changed, but really, the surprise in finding was that it was the difference between morning and afternoon in the reaction times. they were quicker in the afternoon. it was against our expectations. the data mac was crunched by academics here at oxford university, and it is so significant it could overturn traditional beliefs about how the school day is mapped out. does it therefore follow

that if they are sharper and quicker with their motor skills they are going to be sharper and quicker with their mental skills, that maybe the literacy hour needs to be shifted into the afternoon, and science and maths? i think this is a fair assumption. i assume it would, from the findings we have. back in class they are also surprised. mostly the school day is geared up to kids being really sharp in the morning. first thing. so that was a surprise? it was. we schedule all be" difficult" subjects, the once they have to concentrate on, like maths and listen —— literacy and reading and listen —— literacy and reading and writing in the morning. then in the afternoon we do more practical activities and things like topic work and things like that. so, yes, it was very interesting to see that actually the morning was the worst time for them to do those things. a lot of people have said, haven‘t

they, that children need time to wa ke they, that children need time to wake up. it is a significant result for the bbc‘s terrific scientific teams, research which could potentially their shape own school day, maybe even change it. before we go, don‘t look if you are scared of heights. spiderman, otherwise known as frenchman alain robert, has been climbing a barcelona skyscraper without a harness. the local police were not happy. there he goes. no ropes at all. terrifying. ithink happy. there he goes. no ropes at all. terrifying. i think i would rather take the lift. don‘t forget, you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter. stay
