HEALTH / BUSINESS: Sir Richard Branson launches Virgin Health Bank: photocall

Sir Richard Branson's Virgin group launched a controversial new stem-cell business despite strong criticism from medical professionals. It will offer parents the opportunity to preserve stem cells taken from the umbilical cords of their babies in the hope that they could be used in the future to cure serious illnesses. Includes footage of Branson at the photocall for the launch of the Virgin Health Bank.
