World Business Report

Available for over a year

The company's chief executive tells us why he thinks it's "good news" for all involved. Also in the programme, as Singapore mourns the death of its founding father Lee Kuan Yew, we examine his economic legacy. Plus, with Paris trying to combat a serious pollution problem, we ask whether measures the city is taking, including free public transport, will lead to clearer skies. And our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway asks whether how you look can actually affect your performance. Picture: Pirelli tyres. Picture credit: AP
