let's speak to the leadership expert chris roebuck from the university college london school of management good to see you. i want to come onto whether anyone is worth 50 —— 56 billion in a minute. but let's talk about the logistics of him being awarded this. this is something he is entitled to, he says he has earned, he's delivered the results at tesla, why is there now a backlash against it? there already a point here about how he has this. there are questions around honesty, integrity, transparency and if you take the wider point, if you take the wider point, if you made thejudgment you take the wider point, if you made the judgment that elon musk is not demonstrated though is, how can he expect his employees to demonstrate those and make tesla work? if you look at how this has rolled out, as your reporter said, the judge has found that the board was excessively influenced by musk, there are other details that suggest that the shareholders were not made fully aware of quite how easy it was for him to get this. so you could say this is a sleight of hand. so yes, technically, he has deser

not everyone agrees — chris roebuck from the university college london school of management says teslaone of the big questions about executive pay that we've been talking about, perhaps, for the last 20 years, the fact that somebody has to decide what a ceo does and what he gets for doing that, and that should be the board, a remuneration committee and then the shareholders. but as you and i have discussed in the past, we have seen numerous cases where what has happened is that ceos have pressurised remuneration committees and non—executive directors to get their way, and then they've pushed it through shareholders. and that's the problem. if you have a strong ceo who can exert pressure and influence such that even independent directors are under pressure, and we've seen cases where independent directors who have resisted ceo pressure have somehow been made to leave the organisation. so there is a system that should have checks and balances. the problem is that with certain ceos, they think they can make up their own rules and not abide by the rules that everybody else in the organisat

and now new research from university college london estimates that men lose 17 minutes of their lifewoman's life is cut short by 22 minutes for each cigarette. this is more than previous estimates from the bmj, which suggested each cigarette shortened a smoker�*s life by 11 minutes. as the new year approaches, and with the ambitious promise of resolutions, quitting smoking has an added incentive. we know that smoking is still the single biggest cause of preventable death and ill health in the country, leading to many diseases like asthma in children and also heart disease, cancer and dementia. we know that people who stop quitting are best if they get support through stop smoking cessation services. so there's lots of help for people who want to quit, and now is a good time in the year to think about quitting. doctors say quitting smoking at any age substantially improves health, and the benefits start almost immediately. people are now being reminded that it's never too late to quit. barry caffrey, bbc news. astronomers are eagerly awaiting a celestial event that only happens about
