China to Drop One Child Policy

World Business Report

Available for over a year

A generational change for China. As the world's most populous nation abandons its one-child policy, what economic impact will that have? Also in the programme: we head to the Saudi capital Riyadh, to hear fears the kingdom could be heading for financial crisis. Big losses for Big Oil - Shell feels the pain as it pulls out of key drilling projects in Alaska and Canada. We talk to British energy analyst David Hunter. And, in Myanmar, where there's a growing sense of nervousness ahead of impending elections. Picture: REUTERS/Jason Lee
