US Economy Stagnates

Available for over a year

The US economy barely grew in the first three months of 2015. We talk to Dean Baker, co-director of the Centre for Economic and Policy Research in Washington DC. Also, as Manny Pacquiao prepares to take on Floyd Mayweather in what many are calling the boxing match of the century, we ask if the currency of the Philippines - the peso - is really being moved by the fortunes of its national hero. And the BBC's Elizabeth Hotson reports on the changing face of London's culinary scene. We are joined throughout the programme by Heather Timmons of Quartz magazine in Hong Kong and sustainability strategist, Leyla Acaroglu in New Orleans, who discusses her work with organisations and communities.
