Vanishing Planes

How can a plane can vanish in this age of modern technology?

How can a plane can vanish in this age of modern technology? We investigate why, in an age where location-pinpointing software is a click away, an entire aircraft bafflingly disappears. Also, how banana monopolies are affecting farmers in Ecuador. Meanwhile, a new presidential candidate in El Salvador - Salvador Sanchez Ceren - is raising eyebrows because of his past as a leftist guerrilla fighter.

Plus, Lucy Kellaway tells us why women may handle humiliation in the workplace better than men. Finally, we talk about Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster three years on. We are joined by special guests Yuka Hayashi from the Wall Street Journal in Tokyo, and Diane Brady from Bloomberg in New York.
