	Description:		UK chief executive pay rose by 11% last year, far higher than the rise for workers. Charles Cotton of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development, which compiled the latest figures, explains his organisation's research, plus we get reaction from Paul Sellers of the UK's Trades Union Congress. Also in the programme, the Ugandan Afrobeat singer and opposition MP Bobi Wine has been arrested, after his driver was shot and killed. Our reporter in Kampala tells us what is currently known about the case. Following a recent heatwave across Europe, new research suggests the next few years could see an increased likelihood of extreme temperatures. Ruth Valerio of the Tearfund charity says hotter than average weather should act as a wake-up call. Shares of Asian video game companies like Tencent Holdings and Nexon have fallen sharply due to concerns over delays to the release of new games. Tom Wijman, head of global games market research at video game consultancy New Zoo, tells us what's behind the delays. Plus our reporter in Mongolia finds out about efforts there to tackle widespread dinosaur fossil smuggling.
