Iraqi Troops Roll Into Oil-Rich Kirkuk

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The Iraqi military has moved into Kirkuk three weeks after the northern Kurdistan region voted for independence in a disputed referendum. We examine what the latest developments mean for the oil-rich region, as well as the oil industry itself. Also in the programme, how vulnerable are you to being hacked through your home wifi network? We ask a security expert. British Prime Minister Theresa May and the head of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker have agreed to "accelerate" Brexit talks following a cordial working dinner. But what are the rules of engagement when it comes to diplomatic dinners? Roger Hearing is joined by Jyoti Malhotra, consulting editor at Indian Express, and Alexander Kaufman, a reporter for the Huffington Post.
