World Bank warns of ebola cost

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The World Bank has warned the deadly ebola virus could take a heavy economic, as well as human, toll. We speak to the British company Arco which makes protective suits for use by medical staff in affected areas. New rules which could see bankers jailed for reckless behaviour are ruffling feathers in the British banking establishment - Philip Augar from TSB gives his view. As EU leaders meet to discuss the ongoing problem of eurozone unemployment, we speak to Spaniards who have gone to Latin America to seek work. Plus, we have a special report on the world of corporate espionage.
