Progress Made in Asia Pacific Trade Deal

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

We assess progress hailed by Canada in talks towards an Asia-Pacific trade deal - and how they have thus far not included the US. With no progress in the latest round of talks between the UK and the rest of the European Union, we speak to a businessman complaining of 'Brexit blight'. We also hear from a courageous American businesswoman speaking out against harassment on Wall Street, who tells us of her personal experiences. Finally, in China it's Singles Day - and the money is rolling in as sales hit the billions. We assess why such a spending flurry is associated with the day. All this is discussed with our live guest Danny Samson , Professor of Management at the University of Melbourne. (Image: Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
