Paralysis over the Panama Canal

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Vital upgrade work on the Panama Canal is halted in a dispute over who will pay for it. We hear from the chairman of the Panama Canal Authority Jorge Quijano. Also, the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, is urging everyone in the United Kingdom to dissuade the people of Scotland from voting for independence, but will division really reduce Britain's impact in the world? It's that time of the month when the US government tells the world how many new jobs were created last month, and the latest figures are disappointing.
