Polls Open for Indonesian Election

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

We look at the fears for Indonesia's future leadership as elections begin. Also, Obama has asked congress for $3.7 billion to help deport immigrant workers arriving from Central America, many of them children - we find out the story from both sides. A Chinese company complains about not getting its money's worth for product placement in the Transformers movie. Finally, the Swiss national anthem is deemed too boring, so a competition is being held to replace it. Joining us are guests Alexis Goldstein from The Other 98% in Washington, and Elizabeth Pisani, director of the public health consultancy Ternyata, in London.
