difficult the item is. _ something simple, like a t—shirt is 1 to 2 yuan per piece, and i can make around a dozen in an hour. we earn so little — how is that enough? the cost of living is now so high. workers travel thousands of miles to guangzhou to earn money to send back to theirfamilies. shein is now one of their major employers. translation: | think shein i will become better and better. it always pays suppliers on time. it is efficient and reliable. how many people do you think work for shein in this region — this area? i would say over 80% of the people here work for shein. this is the beating heart of an empire. the machines seldom stop. more than a dozen workers told us they labour 75 hours a week, in contravention of chinese labour laws. most have only one

day off a month. and by the door, the end product, ready to be shipped to europe, the uk or the us. there's an almost constant supply of fabric from nearby vendors. shein's success has been possible because this city in china has everything it needs. spending the day here, it's clear that shein's meteoric rise has had a positive effect on the local economy, but it's also come with increased scrutiny. there have been allegations of forced labour. they themselves have found incidents of child labour, and there are accusations that their staff are overworked and underpaid. we found that a 75—hour week is not unusual for many companies in this industrial heartland. well, it's not unusual, you say, but it's clear that

it's illegal and it violates basic human rights. so it's a human rights issue. it's an extreme form of exploitation that happens. and this needs to be visible. people need to know under what conditions clothing is being produced, especially in such an opaque company that does not really report what they are doing. hard work is a way of life here. translation: i am proud that our textile industry i is providing the world with cheap and good quality goods. as a chinese person, this is the contribution i should make. the thrum of machines continues well into the night. in a statement, shein told us it's committed to ensuring the fair and dignified treatment of all workers within its supply chain,

and it's investing tens of millions of dollars in strengthening governance and compliance. they added that they strive to set the highest standards for pay, and that all partners adhere to their code of conduct. but the work here will go on as long as someone in london or new york continues hunting for their next bargain. laura bicker, bbc news, guangzhou. it's the world's largest island, but greenland is home to only 57,000 people — many of whom will be talking aboutjust one subject this week, donald trump. the us president—elect refused to rule out using military force to take control of the island, describing aquiring it as critical to american national security. greenland's geographical position between the us, europe, and russia means it has huge value — in terms of security and natural resources.

our special correspondent fergal keane has more. it is one of the world's last wild frontiers. glimpsed in the short winter sunlight, we're travelling into a place of pristine beauty... ..that�*s suddenly been overtaken by a diplomatic crisis. this place is so remote that it's hard to imagine it as the front line of a major geopolitical row. but up and down this fjord, in isolated settlements, and across the island of greenland, they're talking about trump. those who live here know the strain of harsh weather and the demands of survival. you need to be hardy for this every day. but again and again,

i will hear this is their land. welcome to...home! welcome to this wonderful place. angutimmarik hansen and his family hunt and raise sheep for a living. what do you feel about trump? what a stupid human in the world, like trump. that's what you feel? yeah. i mean, we think about the us and trump. this is different. we need to maybe work together with us and not trump. there's worry here. an inuit culture that struggled against danish colonialism doesn't want any new power taking over. this man is a village pastor. this isn't an argument about owning greenland, he says. it's about a people's culture and history. translation: in our opinion,

it's wild and weird to hear himj speak of our country as something that can just be bought. we don't view it as a purchasable land. we have been here fora longtime. we're used to our ways of living. in the capital, nuuk, there's a feeling that the trump intervention has brought world attention to greenland's campaign for independence. and there's pragmatism. a desire for strong links and financial help from america and denmark. donald trump is a politician. he's a hard businessman and we know his rhetoric. and that rhetoric is something we have gotten used to since 2019. but what is necessary here is that greenland, as a sovereign state, should negotiate directly with the united states and not denmark. newsreel: the eskimo are very primitive, and the danish - government is doing its best to keep civilisation from spoiling them.

to understand what greenlanders feel about the colonial past, it's important to know about racism and abuses. ..when a ship comes in. hedvig frederiksen was only 1a when danish officials fitted her with a contraceptive coil without her permission in the 1970s. she's one of over 100 women suing denmark for its efforts to limit greenland's population. translation: it was i a very awful experience. i was still a child. it wasjust awful. i think the danish people looked down on us, - especially back then. what do you need denmark to do? translation: iwant them to apologise. i however mighty, those wanting to control this [and must reckon with an enduring struggle for dignity and self—determination. fergal keane, bbc news, greenland.

a leading obesity expert has warned that weight loss jabs would bankrupt the nhs in england if all eligible patients were prescribed them. the bbc�*s panorama programme has been following nhs patients on the drugs for several months. doctors say they could ultimately produce savings by cutting the cost of treating the health complications linked to excess weight. here s our medical editor, fergus walsh. ray is 62 and has battled with his weight for most of his life. ray, what size is that? it might be a six, six or a seven xl. he got a shock a few years ago when about to have surgery. i was actually outside waiting to go into the theatre and they said, we can't operate on him, he's too big for this table. it's july 2024 at london's guy's hospital. ray is about to become one of the first patients to get the weight loss jab wegovy

on the nhs. he weighs 148 kilos, or 23 stone. in trials, patients on wegovy lost an average of 15% body weight in just over a year. right, so we're ready to go. 0k? — 0k. there you go. good luck. the weeklyjab works by mimicking a gut hormone, which makes you feel full. it can cause unpleasant side effects in the stomach, which some can't cope with. give it a bit of seasoning. patients know they have to play their part too, eating healthier, smaller portions. fergus, you'll have to come round for a dinner, or a sunday dinner, put some weight on them old bones of yours! laughter. you'll be more like me. and hopefully, i'll be more like you. if ray can lose weight, it would help him and the nhs. we treat a lot

of the complications associated with obesity. if we take ray, for example, you know, he has pre—diabetes. we're hoping to go into remission. hisjoints, he might needjoint surgery in the future, you know, but actually achieving weight loss can prevent a lot of the complications and ultimately save the nhs a lot of money. good boy. but those savings will take years to filter through. hello, nicola. how are you? so for now, only a small proportion of the 3.4 million adults in england eligible for weight loss drugs on the nhs are likely to get them. naveed sattar heads the uk government's 0besity healthcare goals programme. the cost of these drugs is still at a level where we cannot afford to treat several million people within the uk with these drugs, it would simply bankrupt the nhs. he estimates it costs the nhs around £3,000 to give a patient weight loss jabs for a year. and so, if everyone eligible

got them now, that would be £10 billion a year. most are simply paying for them. i would estimate perhaps more than nine out of ten people within the uk are currently getting these drugs privately, who perhaps stand to benefit the most, who perhaps are less affluent in more deprived communities, are simply not able to afford these drugs. so no, it's not necessarily fair, but it'sjust the reality of the economics of the situation. jean is hoping another weight loss jab, mounjaro, will help her get in shape. who's that? that's me. well, this is the girl. i mean, i know this was over a decade ago, but i still think it's achievable. i was a fitness fanatic, and i'd go to the gym practically every day. and i'd work out at home with my weights. jean is getting mounjaro as she has type two diabetes and injects insulin daily. after five weeks on the jab, she's lost two kilos and her diabetes has improved. last week, thursday was

the final insulin injection. wow. after five years. i think it's mounjaro and willpower as well. i have to give myself some credit! the mounjaro silences the food noise, and i'm not constantly sitting around thinking about what i'm going to eat. after two months on mounjaro, jean has lost more than half a stone. in a key trial, patients lost around 20% body weight over eight months. ray is doing well. after five months on wegovy, he's lost 1a kilos — more than two stone. well, look, i'm really pleased with you. it's clearly doing what it's supposed to do,

which is switching off those food noises. very nice to see you both. yes. and ray, who's recently become a granddad, is delighted. well pleased. i can't believe it, any of us. you know, my daughters, every time they see me, they say i'm shrinking, or i'm wasting away. most patients put their lost weight back on if they come off the jabs. so these could be drugs for life, for ray and others, bringing both costs and benefits to the nhs. fergus walsh, bbc news. and if you're in the uk, you can watch �*panorama — weight loss drugs and the nhs' on bbc one tonight at eight, and you can stream it on bbc iplayer now. let's speak to our medical editor fergus walsh in salford... a really interesting report. for those watching, how does the drug work? it

[30 the drugs which is a long-term continuing cost.— continuing cost. do they have advice and — continuing cost. do they have advice and guidance - continuing cost. do they have advice and guidance once - continuing cost. do they have i advice and guidance once people are on the drug for what they eat. i presume they will need to eat nutritious food if they are only eating small amounts.

absolutely, at gary's hospital in london they get a lot of advice from dieticians and a lot of the support. things like ensuring that they prioritise protein so that when they lose weight quickly they are not losing too much muscle mass. probably with these types of drugs avoiding spicy and fatty foods that can cause some of those side effects. they get a lot of support. not everyone getting these drugs on the nhs will need that full wraparound care. in future i think we will see increasingly with this other drug mounjaro which can produce even greater weight loss, we will get that rolled out via some gps with maybe an app out via some gps with maybe an app that people can use. but patients need to be kept an eye on. most patients, and i have met so many in the last few

weeks you tell me they get these drugs privately and pay for them, these drugs privately and pay forthem, but these drugs privately and pay for them, but often they don't get that level of face to face support. i get that level of face to face su ort. . ., , support. i imagine demand is hiuh for support. i imagine demand is high for it _ support. i imagine demand is high for it so _ support. i imagine demand is high for it so how _ support. i imagine demand is high for it so how are - support. i imagine demand is high for it so how are people | high for it so how are people chosen? fist high for it so how are people chosen? �* , j, high for it so how are people chosen? �* , , ., chosen? at guy's hospital the criteria are _ chosen? at guy's hospital the criteria are you _ chosen? at guy's hospital the criteria are you have - chosen? at guy's hospital the criteria are you have to - chosen? at guy's hospital the criteria are you have to have l chosen? at guy's hospital thej criteria are you have to have a body mass index of more than 35. if you have a body mass index of 30 you are clinically obese. so 35, you have to be quite overweight. the people being prioritised for this are people who have weight —related health complications. for example, people like ray who you saw in the report who needs surgery. people on the waiting list you have been told that they can't be operated upon until you have lost weight. those are the ones getting prioritised but it will be a slow roll—out. the nhs has so many demands on it already and with mounjaro, the other weight

loss drug, the decision has been taken to roll it out for patients over 12 years, the longest roll—out of any drug. and in the next three years just 220,000 patients are likely to get it on the nhs, so people will have to wait quite a long time to get it or go private. a long time to get it or go rivate. , . ., , a long time to get it or go rivate. , ~ . , .., private. fergus walsh, medical editor in salford, _ private. fergus walsh, medical editor in salford, thank - private. fergus walsh, medical editor in salford, thank you. i inquests are expected to begin today into the deaths of five people in a helicopter crash at leicester city's king power stadium more than six years ago. the club's billionaire owner was among those killed when the aircraft span out of control shortly after take—off. 0ur midlands correspondent phil mackie reports. this was the aftermath of the crash in october 2018, in which five people died shortly after leicester's premier league game against west ham. air accident investigators said, in a report published in 2023, that the leonardo aw169's rear rotor blade

failed as it took off from the king power stadium. it caused the helicopter to spin out of control. it crashed a short distance away and caught fire. everyone on board was killed. the report also said that all safety checks had been properly carried out, and the pilot couldn't have done anything to prevent the accident. it led to an outpouring of grief at the time that encompassed the world of football and beyond. today's inquests are expected to open with tributes to the five people who died. leicester's billionaire chairman, vichai srivaddhanaprabha, and his employees, nusara suknamai and kaveporn punpare, as well as the experienced pilot and instructor, eric swaffer, and his partner izabela lechowicz. on friday, mr srivaddhanaprabha's family launched what their lawyers described as a landmark £2.15 billion compensation claim against the helicopters manufacturer.

the site of the crash, just outside the stadium, has since been turned into a garden, where supporters and players can remember those who lost their lives. phil mackie, bbc news. the ship at the centre of scotland's long—running ferries saga is due to make its first passenger voyage this morning after nearly seven years of delays. the glen sannox takes passengers between the west coast of scotland, south ayrshire, and the isle of arran. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. a ferry heading to and from the scottish islands wouldn't normally attract this attention but this is the glenn sannox and took its first passengers this morning from the scottish

mainland to the island of arran. it has come in four times over budget in seven years late, the cost for the two ferries running at around £400 million. it's indicative of a problem across the west coast ferry network where the fleet is ailing and ageing and the average age of the ten major vessels on the calmac fleet is more than 23 years old. breakdowns are common, islanders suffer delays and problems with business and sometimes going to the problems w
