World Business Report

Available for over a year

Are arms trade realities contradicting western foreign policy on Moscow and Ukraine? Also coming up, how the European Union's energy saving scheme may actually be causing more pollution, rather than less. With the Commonwealth Games getting underway in Glasgow, Scotland, we ask whether the inevitable 50% overspend will turn out to have been worth it for the city. Plus, we hear about the Parisian hotels that let customers decide how much to pay, instead of charging a set fee.
