Billionaire investor Warren Buffett retires

World Business Report

Available for over a year

From buying his first shares at just 11 years old to retiring at 95, we look back at what has made Warren Buffett one of finance’s most successful figures - and hear from someone who knows him about his legacy. China is the world’s second-largest economy and official figures show strong growth. But a new report suggests the reality may be different. We speak to one of the people behind the report. And we also look at the upcoming trial of a former military officer accused of blowing up one of Europe’s largest gas pipelines. (Picture: Warren Buffet, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, retires.
