Netanyahu Vows no Palestinian State

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As Israelis prepare to go to the polls, has Benjamin Netanyahu turned his back on the two state solution in order to secure last minute votes? We ask Yossi Mekelberg of Chatham House, as Netanyahu's chances of winning a fourth term in office hangs in the balance. As Greece prepares to raise over a billion dollars in short-term financing to meet debt repayments, the Finance Minister Yannis Varoufakis has been criticised for showing off his expensive apartment in Paris Match. We speak to Constantine Michalos, chairman of the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We look at the cutting edge of the multi-billion-dollar gaming industry - and it's not all about guns and car chases. And, a Saudi court punishes a woman for insulting a man on WhatsApp. We hear about an online battle of wills between conservatives and progressives in the Kingdom. We are joined by guest David Kuo of The Motley Fool in Singapore.
