Europe's central bank set for first female boss

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The European Union has nominated Christine Lagarde to become the new President of the European Central Bank – and she’d be the first female to become the boss of the influential institution. We talk to a student who found that signing a piece of paper as an intern made it almost impossible for her to get a local job after she had graduated - we out exactly what signing a non-compete agreement means. Nike has been at the centre of more controversy over its new shoes, which the firm recalled from retailers. And we explore the commercial potential of women’s soccer. We discuss all this with Jose Martin, organizer and a militant researcher of social unrest –who is in Washington, and in Singapore we speak to Eleanor Jones, tech consultant and founder of Skintelligent.
