We investigate how Ukraine's future politicians can avoid economic disaster in their country. Also, researchers create a computer virus that can spread through your wi-fi connection, for the very first time. We find out why immigrant workers are giving the French economy a much-needed boost. And, as online dating infiltrates India, we have a special report from Delhi about the phenomenon of private detectives hired to verify that potential love matches really are who they say they are. We get the latest on the Bangkok protests with our reporter Jonathan Head. We are joined by special guests, renowned feminist publisher Urvashi Batalia, from Delhi and from Washington, economist Peter Morici talks through the day's stories from the US perspective.
