US Debt Ceiling - What Next?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

With the US debt ceiling crisis averted for a few months, is deferment the best way forward? Is America following the eurozone's lead in dealing with its big financial and economic problems by simply putting them off? Business Daily gets the view from New York and from Beijing. Also in the programme, the BBC's Wyre Davies reports on Brazil's new "monster" energy find - the recently discovered Libra oil field off the country's north east coast, which purportedly contains up to 10 billion barrels of oil.
