2026 - 2: Japan's Shoplifting Pensioners

As traditional multi-generational families break down, millions of elderly people are being left in isolation and poverty - with many turning to petty theft to survive. As Japanese prisons become retirement homes for a growing number of elderly convicts, Krishnan Guru-Murthy investigates this geriatric crime wave gripping the country.
