Major Oil Pipeline Proposal Rejected

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The Keystone XL pipeline has been rejected by the US Senate. We speak to Greenpeace to ask why they do not believe the clean-up operation after the project will happen - and hear from the energy representatives who insist it will. We have an exclusive in-depth report on Zambia's effort to reverse a mini economic slump. And we hear how a company is cashing in on the reputation of Bob Marley - to sell his favourite strand of cannabis. All this with our guests Tania Branigan from The Guardian news in Beijing, and Paddy Hirsch from the US radio show Marketplace in Los Angeles. Presented by Fergus Nicoll.
