Dozens feared dead in Ukraine mine explosion

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We ask why the country has such a poor record on mining safety. Also in the programme, we hear if a big interest rake hike can halt the Ukrainian currency's freefall. And we have more from Fergus Nicoll in Chennai, India, where he asks what role traditional Indian culture might play amidst rapid technological change.
