'Breathtaking' EU corruption

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

German MEP Jan Albrecht talks about what to do about corruption - as a new report shows it is costing member states 120 billion euros every year. Also, Robin Lustig investigates the controversies surrounding the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi. And, is Cuba's newly revamped port of Mariel a huge step towards a free market economy? Plus, special guests Ralph Silva in Toronto and Yuka Hayashi in Tokyo talk Wall Street stocks, Sino-Japanese relations and whether it is ever polite to ask a person's age.
