US Cuba Talks Could Lead to New Cuban Middle Class

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The first round of talks begin in Havana, to implement a thawing of relations between the US and Cuba, with immigration and trade sanctions topping the bill. Microsoft has announced features of its latest software, which include holographic abilities - albeit to minimal applause. Is the famous gathering of world leaders in Davos - the World Economic Forum (WEF) - still relevant? Pop star Will.I.Am seems to think so, as he tells the BBC. Finally, we assess some of the financial world's biggest clerical errors, the latest being from JP Morgan, which has cost the company $1.5 billion. Guests today are Jose Martin, radical organizer and militant researcher, who's in New York and Simon Littlewood, President at Asia Now consulting group in Singapore. Presented by Roger Hearing.
