World Business Report

Available for over a year

The Indian Supreme Court has ruled against a major drugs company, in what campaigners for generic medicines have described as a landmark case. We hear how it could help patients in the developing world and whether it will stifle innovation by pharmaceutical firms. Also the Bank of England is set to become one of the most powerful central banks in the world after changes in how the UK regulates its huge banking sector. And the companies pulling one over on their customers - it's April Fools' Day!
