World Business Report

Available for over a year

The value of the euro has fallen to a four and a half year low against the US dollar after the head of the ECB hinted at future stimulus measures. We analyse Mario Draghi's comments with BBC economics correspondent Andrew Walker and Justin Urquhart-Stewart from Seven Investment Management. Also the gambler's paradise Macau pulls in its lowest revenues since the casino industry was liberalised in 2001. Cambodia raises its minimum wage - how will it affect the country's all-important textile industry? Plus 13-year-old American Alyssa Carson has started training for NASA, with aspirations to walk on Mars. We go to meet her. Presented by Roger Hearing.
