Oil prices slide after Opec deal collapses

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As the oil producers' cartel Opec tries to agree a cut in output to stave off falling prices, Dr. Sara Vakhshouri, president of SVB Energy International in Washington, considers the implications. We bring you the latest on the coronavirus and the impact it's having on financial markets, and workplaces around the world. How do bosses balance the welfare of their workers with the need to make profits? But in South Korea, more detailed public health information has been having some unintended consequences, as we hear from local reporter Nemo Kim. And ahead of International Women's Day on Sunday, we hear from India, where one woman has been fighting for a seat on the board of one of the country's most powerful conglomerates. Ed Butler is joined throughout the programme by Sharon Brettkelly, presenter of The Detail podcast on Radio New Zealand, from Auckland. (Picture: An oil refinery. Credit: AFP via Getty Images)
