Mass Blackouts Continue in Venezuela

Mass blackouts have plunged much of Venezuela into darkness

Mass blackouts have plunged much of Venezuela into darkness; we hear from Mary Beth Sheridan from the Wall Street journal who's in Caracas. Norway's $1tn sovereign wealth fund is expected to sell some of its oil and gas holdings. Richard Milne is the Nordic and Baltic correspondent for the Financial Times, and tells us what's behind the fund's decision. On International Women's Day, we hear from serving military officer Debs Taylor, who was the inspiration for the latest in a series of gender busting careers books for children, My Mummy is a Soldier, as well as the book's author Jason Bryan. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Melody Hahm, senior writer at Yahoo Finance, and Joseph Wallace of the Wall Street Journal.
