BBCで働く女性たちが賃金平等の話題を取り上げようとすると、「遠回しに脅され」ていたことが明らかになった。BBCの女性スタッフ組織が30日、英下院委員会に報告書を提出した。
ジャーナリスト、マイケル・ウォルフ氏による9日発売の新著「Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House(炎と激怒――トランプ政権の内側)」は、ドナルド・トランプ米大統領が当選して「当惑」し、ホワイトハウスを怖い場所だと思っていたと書いている。 元側近のスティーブン・バノン氏が、トランプ氏の長男がロシア人弁護士と面会したのを「売国的」と呼んでいるという内容が3日に明らかになり、大統領がこれに反論するなど、発売前から大きな話題となっている。ウルフ氏は200人以上を取材したと説明し、政権内部の様子を取材するため、トランプ大統領就任以降、ホワイトハウスの執務棟「ウェストウィング」内の「ソファにほぼ専属の場所を」獲得していたと書いている。 一方で、ホワイトハウスのサラ・サンダース報道官はこの著書について、「ホワイトハウスに何のアクセスも影響力もない複数の個人

中国の全国人民代表大会(全人代)の常務委員会は27日、新たな対テロ組織の設置や治安部隊の権限拡大などを定めた「反テロ法」を可決・成立させた。
All over the world it's the same - a woman driving a lorry gets funny looks and has to listen to unfunny jokes. It's a career women are not expected to choose, it seems, and often one they don't even consider. But why not? The job no longer requires brute strength and some women who do it say they love it. "When I'm out on the road and a wagon will go past I do actually feel like I've got three he
Japan has a reputation for being fascinated by robots and hi-tech gadgets - a nation at the forefront of manufacturing innovation. But the technological reality in many offices is strikingly different. This is a country that uses people to do the work of traffic lights and where big-name companies running 10-year-old software is the norm. There are even tape cassettes for sale in the ubiquitous co
China has decided to end its longstanding one-child policy and allow all couples to have two children. What was it? A decades-old government policy in China that limited many families to only one child, though exceptions were made. The one-child policy is estimated by the Chinese government to have prevented about 400m births since it began but this number is contested. By 2007, China claimed that
China has decided to end its decades-long one-child policy, the state-run Xinhua news agency reports. Couples will now be allowed to have two children, it said, citing a statement from the Communist Party. The controversial policy was introduced nationally in 1979, to slow the population growth rate. It is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births. However concerns at China's ageing pop
"The working-age share of the population peaked in 2012 and is now on the decline." This is probably the single most important sentence published this week from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund - but it comes from an unlikely source. The IMF and the Bank are holding their semi-annual meetings in Peru. As usual this is being accompanied by a plethora of reports and forecasts from
Mitsu Kimata thinks women are partly to blame for their position in Japanese society After a career covering senior roles in the civil service and as head of Body Shop in Japan, Mitsu Kimata, 79, shows no sign of slowing down. Throughout, she fought ingrained attitudes to women at work. To win promotion, she had to work harder than male colleagues. But her reward came in 1986, with a top post at J
Jeremy Corbyn: "We don't have to be unequal. It does not have to be unfair, poverty isn't inevitable. Things can, and they will change" Jeremy Corbyn has promised to lead a Labour "fightback" after being elected the party's new leader by a landslide. The veteran left-winger got almost 60% of more than 400,000 votes cast, trouncing his rivals Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall. He immediat
Trade unions say the ruling should mean more money for people who travel to appointments for work Time spent travelling to and from first and last appointments by workers without a fixed office should be regarded as working time, the European Court of Justice has ruled. This time has not previously been considered as work by many employers. It means firms including those employing care workers, ga
