A report from northern Sweden hears how Europe's most ancient indigenous culture - the Sami - is taking on the forces of industry. But in a struggle between the miners and the Sami reindeer-herders, who is likely to win? Also in the programme, trillions of dollars have gone to support US banks following the financial crisis. But why did no one think to bail out the home-owners? Princeton economist, Atif Mian, co-author of a new book entitled House of Debt, explains why he believes the legacy of household debt is the real reason for the slow progress of US and worldwide economic recovery. Also Lucy Kellaway reflects on the publication of CIA's written style-guide for its agents. It offers 150 pages of advice on things like where to stick commas and which letters to capitalise. She asks whether poor grammar has really become the latest threat to US national security.
