World Business Report

Available for over a year

Mexico's presidential candidates begin their campaigns for the election on 1st July. Duncan Wood, director of the Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center in Washington, tells us what issues are likely to determine the outcome. US retail giant Walmart is reportedly negotiating a move into the health sector with insurer Humana - Dana Mattioli has been covering the negotiations for the Wall Street Journal. Plus, as pubs in the Republic of Ireland open on Good Friday for the first time in almost a century we ask Robert Byrne, who runs Bobby Byrne's Pub in Limerick, whether he's experienced a big sales boost. And Dan Thomas reports on the growing number of young men using make-up and asks whether male cosmetics is about to go mainstream. (Picture: Presidential candidate Ricardo Anaya.
