Trade Back on Agenda at Davos

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

On the opening day of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged nations to be flexible around trade. We get the thoughts of FT journalist Katie Martin on Modi's speech. We go to Brazil, where former president Lula da Silva is due to find out whether a former conviction against him will be overturned, allowing him to run for office again. Jon Bithrey is joined throughout the programme by Andy Uhler, a reporter at the US Public Radio programme Marketplace, in Los Angeles and David Kuo of the Motley Fool in Singapore.
