'Too Big to Fail' Bank Rules Unveiled

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Do new rules mean no more bank bailouts? We hear from their author, Bank of England governor Mark Carney, and ask whether the plan will really make a difference. Spain's richest region has voted in favour of independence. Madrid says the vote is illegal, but many Catalans say they won't give up. We ask if they are ever likely to get their way. Also, we delve into Scandinavian folkore to find out why Denmark is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars researching trolls. Plus our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway explains why she thinks manicures should not be used as a recruiting tool.
