Unpicking Apple's Tax and India's Healthcare Dilemma

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Today we're live in London, New York, Delhi, Sydney and California. We're unpicking Apple's tax avoidance schemes after the tech giant's CEO Tim Cook is grilled by US senators. We're gazing into the future at the Future in Review Conference in California - a gathering of the intellectually gifted, and the commercially savvy - their task is to look into the blue skies of future technology and tell us how the world will, or should look, in a few years from now. We hear from the BBC's Jennifer Pak in Hong Kong on the lengths parents go to to ensure the best educational start even before their child is born. Also: why austerity is good for your soul - according to one of Britain's leading philosophers. And the future of health care in India: should it be mostly public or private?
