British PM in Transparent Tax Move

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

David Cameron announces moves to end the mystery of who owns the 'nameplate' companies in tax havens. We ask whether the rest of the world will follow suit. Also, several banks suspend staff over allegations related to currency trading manipulation and the foreign minister of Somaliland tells us what it is like to do business when you are not officially recognised as a country. We get the latest from our correspondent Juliana Liu on the big business stories in Hong Kong and the Norwegian television channel showing nothing but hours and hours of knitting. Plus, we speak to writer John Bradley about his addiction to working in - and writing about - the world of chocolate.
