Subscribe to BBC News www.youtube.com/bbcnews
A BBC investigation for Panorama has exposed poor working conditions at factories making Apple products in China. The undercover team secretly filmed the iPhone production line and found Apple’s promises to protect workers were routinely broken. One undercover reporter – making parts for Apple computers – had to work eighteen days without a day off. Other workers were filmed falling asleep. Apple say they will investigate any concerns brought to them. Richard Bilton reports.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump has reversed his threat of a 20% fee on all Strait of Hormuz cargo shipping, as the US battles to break Iran’s hold on the waterway.
He said the toll would be replaced by trade and investment deals with Gulf states, just hours before the US resumes a blockade of Iranian ports.
It follows renewed strikes between the US and Iran, which triggered a sharp rise in oil prices as tanker traffic through the Strait has virtually stalled.

The Chinese people are how many? If they all stood then the dictatorship would fall. It is the only way. Yes, people would lose their freedom and lives but in history this is sometimes the only way. I salute the brave souls who protest.

I'm sure that APPLE is aware of the issue, and chooses to ignore those facts. Why would APPLE select a factory in China for the production of IPhones in the first place? Cheap labor, different legislation etc. Even if they get sued we all know how it will turn out.

Why accusing apple.. factories are in China, Chinese officials and the ones in charge of factory operations are to blame. Apple pays for a product to be manufactured but as much as they try, bottom line, Chinese are known to over work and care less for employees. It is a Chinese matter, not Apple’s.

Apple can't even fix consumer phones. They make up bs so you can buy a new phone. Not to mention. Updates to screw up the phone so it does not function properly.

The solution (for the US) is for the government to work with governments around the world that want to improve labor standards for their people, and have freer trade with those countries. We could shut down American companies that break the labor and environmental standards that such a trade policy would require, and start holding CEO's accountable for their actions in court.
And OPEN THE BORDERS. If we in the US want to improve life elsewhere, if we really care about the people of the world, we would allow the freedom of movement and allow migrants to earn a living that the market dictates.
We would realize that someone working the same job here versus somewhere else in the world can have a more equal life if we break down the artificial barriers to the freedom of movement, the labor supply, and the free market.
(We can have a nation with secure borders, but also open the borders to migrants, who go through necessary checks. Keeping track of immigrants and crime with data is now easy.)

we pay lots of money for apple instead we should pay for workers.
@ianyang9298
January 4, 2024 at 2:57 am
I don't think apple is the only example where workers are abused in China, but Apple does have a responsibility to protect their workers, wherever they are in the world. On the other hand, BBC needs to really understand the underlying problem here – it's not just about Apple, it's about a lot more other factories in China.
