Shale Gas Debt Warning

World Business Report

Available for over a year

There are concerns that the slump in oil values could lead to mass bankruptcies in the US shale oil and gas sector, potentially leading to another global financial crisis. Oleg Melentyev is head of US Credit Strategy at Deutsche Bank, and tells us why he is concerned by shale debts. Also in the programme, protests hit the streets of France - this time it is business groups marching to see the end of red tape. And, our commentator Lucy Kellaway takes issue with coffee-based chats.
