World Business Report

Available for over a year

Germany's interior minister dropped a threat to quit amid plans for new migrant centres. We hear the case for and against new migration curbs in Europe from Elmar Brok, MEP for Angela Merkel's CDU party, and Michel Reimon, MEP for Austria's Green Party. And our regular economic commentator, Roger Bootle of Capital Economics explains the economic arguments around migration. Also in the programme, we have an extended report from the BBC's Rahul Tandon in Delhi, examining the pollution challenges that India faces. (Picture: Angela Merkel. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
