Plan B for Cyprus

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We're live in Cyprus as Cypriot MPs debate an escape route from their financial chaos. But even if they can agree will it be a cunning enough plan for the people holding the purse strings in Europe and at the IMF? We ask the experts. Also today James Bond and the Men in Black both meet their ultimate nemesis in the guise of the Chinese censors. "Arm loses a pair of capable hands". Not a cryptic crossword clue. But the headline in Britain's Financial Times newspaper greeting the surprise announcement this week that Warren East is stepping down as chief executive of Arm Holdings. We talk to our technology correspondent. And we have our usual round-up of the weeks biggest economic stories.
