Guido Barilla, head of the Barilla pasta brand, sparks a Twitter storm with anti-gay marriage comments. He apologised as people fumed against him on #boycottbarilla and #barillagate. We look at a professor of literature in Canada who has also backtracked. He had said he wouldn't teach works written by women. Finally, how a small number of Norwegians are gaining from a green subsidy in France for electric cars.
