Islamic State militants now control some Iraqi oil fields

World Business Report

Available for over a year

What does it mean for Iraq's oil industry, and why aren't oil prices on the rise? Plus, we're in Mexico, assessing the impact of sweeping reforms to the country's oil sector, which will allow private funding for the first time in decades. Also in the programme -- the US department store that's introducing a Bill of Rights for customers after allegations it racially profiled shoppers. And we'll hear why investors are going bananas about a business that sells bananas.
