The Perils of Protecting Against Pirates

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We report on the anti-piracy ship whose crew faces five years in an Indian jail. Yvonne MacHugh is partner of one of the jailed British guards on board the Seaman Guard Ohio. Also in the programme, Deutsche Bank shares bounce back, but just how secure is Germany's biggest bank? Christian Kirchner of the German business magazine Capital gives us his view. Plus the BBC's Damien McGuinness explains how apprenticeships have helped give Germany the lowest rate of youth unemployment in Europe. And we talk to Lufthansa's chief executive Carsten Spohr about his airline's restive labour relations. (Picture: The Seaman Guard Ohio in India. Picture credit: STRDEL / AFP / Getty Images.)
