Big Boss Interview

The Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa leaves his official residence, as he concedes defeat in the snap election. On what would be Elvis Presley's 80th birthday, his powerful legacy means his memorabilia still sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Finally, an Indian man has finally been dismissed, after not turning up for work for 24 years. Guests today are Heather Timmons from Quartz magazine in Hong Kong, and Eugene Puryear, a Green Party candidate and political commentator in Washington. Presented by Roger Hearing.
