Controversial Weedkiller Sees Price Volatility

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Share prices of chemical giant Bayer fluctuated on investor expectations of talks surrounding glyphosate, contained in the weed killer Round Up. Plus the delights of Euro-railing: how Britain ruled itself out of a popular Euro rail programme - and then crept back in again. And why is crazy golf and a helter skelter fairground ride on offer inside two British cathedrals? Finally, an International Monetary Fund chief takes President Donald Trump to task: but as trade wars rage, is anyone listening to multilateral organisations any more? We discuss all this with guests Alexander Kaufman, a reporter at HuffPost New York, and from ABC in New South Wales: Liz Gwynn. (Image: RoundUp weedkiller. Credit: Scott Olson/Getty Images)
