Newshour

Available for over a year

Lego, the Danish toymaker, has reversed its policy on bulk sales of its products after previously refusing to sell its bricks to the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, saying that its plastic bricks could not be used to make political statements. Ai Weiwei complained of censorship and fans sent him thousands of pieces of Lego that he has used in his artwork. What does he make of Lego's change of heart? (Photo: Ai Weiwei Portrait.
