G8: Will it make a difference?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

David Cameron insists progress against tax evasion is being made, ahead of the G8 summit - but others aren't so convinced. Also, where did it all go wrong for Detroit? The city has defaulted on some of it's loans, and we find out where this once thriving city sees it's future. We also find out why Dreamliner planes are still being niggled with problems with expert Tom Ballantyne. Meanwhile, a peace deal in Colombia isn't as good as it seems on the surface. Finally, Uganda is in a mess - international donors have stopped sending money - so a hike in taxes to make up for the shortfall means Uganda's citizens are feeling the pinch.
