Pressure tells on Bangladesh retailers and government
Almost simultaneously, Western retailers and the Bangladeshi government have adopted a series of measures to improve conditions for the country's millions of clothing workers, which activists have been demanding for years.
It's a sign of the intense pressure they are under after the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory complex on 24 April - with most of the 1,100 dead lowly-paid garment workers making cut-price clothes for the West.

Dhaka survivor's continuing despair
"It felt like judgement day," says Halima Akhter, as she remembers the moment when the roof fell in at her clothing factory in the Rana Plaza complex outside Dhaka last week.
"I have seen my grave," she continues as she recounts being trapped under the rubble - before her relief at being rescued 24 hours later.
