UN Targets Oil in Fresh Sanctions Against North Korea

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Pyongyang's oil imports will be cut by up to 90% in a move designed to choke off vital fuel supplies to its missile and nuclear programmes. But after nine rounds of sanctions, will this tenth package make a difference? We discuss what's next for the eurozone's fourth largest economy after Catalan separatist parties secured victory in snap regional elections. Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal explains how US giant The Home Depot has managed to stay on top amid an online retail boom. Presenter Rob Young is joined by Peter Ryan, ABC's Senior Business Correspondent, in Sydney. (Picture: North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un delivers a speech in Pyongyang. Credit: AFP/Getty Images)
