Description: Amid protests, fracking for shale gas has begun at a site in Lancashire in the UK. Kate Blagojevic is UK head of energy at Greenpeace, and explains why there is resistance to the practice, meanwhile Francis Egan, chief executive of Cuadrilla, which is doing the drilling, tells us why he thinks it is safe. And we get wider context from petroleum geologist Professor Richard Davies of Newcastle University. Also in the programme, we find out why the US retail giant Sears has been forced to file for bankruptcy protection. Apple has bought the music analytics firm Asaii. Liana Brinded, editor of Yahoo Finance UK, tells us what's behind the move. Plus our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare explains why time-wasting meetings make her angry.
