Korean Ferry Disaster

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As rescue workers continue to search for missing children at the site of the capsized ferry off the coast of South Korea, we get the latest news from our correspondent Martin Patience in Seoul. The US toy industry is in the doldrums with sales falling steadily every year. So why is that, and what can be done to turn things around? Roger Hearing asks Richard Gottlieb, CEO of toy industry analysts Global Toy Experts. What is peer-to-peer sharing and why do some people believe it could save the world's leading economies? Arun Sundararajan from the Stern School of Business at New York University explains. Plus, we hear from Siofra McAllister at therichest.com, who tells us whether Uruguay's president really is the poorest head of state in the world, as he proudly claims.
