	Description:		A study in the UK found that 40% of businesses have seen a rise in stress-related absence. We hear from one person who experienced a breakdown after feeling she was unable to cope. And Professor Cary Cooper of Manchester Business School tells us why stress is on the rise. We also hear from workers in Berlin, which was recently identified as one of the least stressful cities in the world. And entrepreneur Sophie Power argues that working remotely can help employees deal with high workload. Also in the programme, the former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn has accused executives at the firm of 'backstabbing', and says he is innocent of all charges against him. Our reporter assesses the global reaction to Mr Ghosn's videotaped statement. Plus we hear why global food giant Nestle is being accused of breaking a pledge to stop using vanilla flavourings in some baby milk sold in Hong Kong and China. Nusa Urbancic of the Changing Markets Foundation explains why her organisation is opposed to such flavourings, and we get wider context from Alison Thewliss, UK member of parliament for Glasgow Central, who leads a parliamentary group on infant feeding.
