Russia Cuts Deal to Finance Ukraine

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Russia pledges billions to help Ukraine as it attempts to stop it moving towards the European Union - a key demand of weeks of protests. Also, could a current ban on mining prevent a diamond rush in Antarctica? Plus, why there is no golden retirement to look forward to for people born in the 60s and 70s. Joining us live during the programme will be Diane Brady from Bloomberg Businessweek in New York and Simon Littlewood of Asia Now Consulting group in Singapore.
