Apple accused of failing to protect workers
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.

The state of ceasefire talks between the US and Iran has been thrown into question, after American forces launched fresh strikes …

The government of Iran has restored some access to the internet this week, after a lengthy blackout imposed on and off, for most of this year. Many Iranians are celebrating the move, which has allowed some people to contact friends and family members abroad for the first time in weeks. It could also be a lifeline for Iranians who depend on digital platforms to earn a living.
There is speculation that the move could be intended to show US President Donald Trump that the regime is willing to make some compromises at home.
But digital monitoring groups say the level of internet access is still poorer than it was before Tehran imposed its blackouts, first as a response to mass protests in January, and again at the start of the war with the US and Israel. Access to some sites is still blocked and analysts say two-factor authentication is not available in Iran, impeding many people’s access to platforms like Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.
Reha Kansara, from the BBC’s Global Disinformation Unit, tells us what restrictions Iranians still face, how people are trying to get around them, and how this partial restoration of internet access could play into the ceasefire talks between Tehran and Washington.

The public health risk from the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been raised from “high” to “very high” by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In an update on Friday, WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also said the risk in the wider region in Africa was “high”, but it remained “low” globally.
The rare species of Ebola, known as Bundibugyo, has no proven vaccine and kills about a third of those infected. So far, the outbreak centred on DR Congo has resulted in 177 suspected deaths and 750 suspected cases.
It comes as scientists at Oxford University in the UK are developing a new vaccine that could be ready for clinical trials within two to three months.

Warning: contains details of alleged sexual offences and misconduct
Senior staff on Married at First Sight UK had an “unhealthy” focus on whether cast members were having sex, former workers on the show have told BBC News.
Producers would deliberately try to make contestants angry or upset for the sake of generating watchable drama, they say.
The former workers on the Channel 4 show have spoken to the BBC following a Panorama investigation into Married at First Sight UK (MAFS UK). Two former cast members say they were raped by their on-screen partners, and a third alleged a non-consensual sex act. Their on-screen partners have denied all the allegations against them.
Lawyers for CPL, the production company which makes MAFS UK, say the latest allegations are from a small minority of former workers, and the company’s “commitment to welfare… is evidenced by the high consecutive return rate of crew across the MAFS series”.
Channel 4 says contributor welfare is “always our primary concern across all productions”.

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.
