Brazil Coalition Party Quits Government

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The largest party in Brazil's ruling coalition has voted for an 'immediate exit' from President Dilma Rousseff's government. The move could hasten impeachment proceedings against the president. We get the latest from Rio. Union sources say the Indian conglomorate Tata has decided to put its entire British steel business up for sale. That includes the steel works at Port Talbot in South Wales, which employs over 4000 people. Israel has become the first country in the world to put a cap on bankers' base salaries. The law caps total compensation of CEO salaries in banking and insurance at 2.5 million shekels, about $650,000 US. We hear from Corporate Law expert professor Lynn Stout, at Cornell University. Presenter Anu Anand is joined throughout the programme by Nancy Marshall-Genzer, a senior reporter from our partner programme Marketplace, based in Washington, and David Moser, a Chinese expert in Beijing.
