Available for over a year

We get the latest witness and expert reaction to the Malaysian Airlines plane MH17 which has crashed over Ukraine. Plus, Microsoft announces it's cutting up to 18,000 jobs, with the majority of them going from handset maker Nokia. We ask what this says about the direction Microsoft is taking. Also, as Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott repeals the country's carbon tax, we discuss what the repercussions could be. Guests economist Peter Morici in Washington and Jyoti Malhotra senior writer with India Today in Delhi reflect on the latest news.
