US Airlines Banned From Flying Over Iraq

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Airlines are ordered not to fly over Iraq as fighting there rages and the US starts bombings raids. A pair linked to GSK are sentenced to two and a half years in jail in China charged with trafficking personal data. Kenya is considering levying a windfall tax on mining and energy companies, but could the plan deter foreign investors. Taipan Resources is listed on the Toronto stock exchange in Canada and it is one of a few energy companies exploring for oil in the north east of Kenya. We hear from the company's chief executive, Max Birley. To discuss these topics and more, we are joined from New Zealand by Colin Peacock, presenter of the of "media-watch" at Radio New Zealand.
