Leaders gather for Davos meeting

Tue, 21 Jan 14

Business and global political leaders are gathering¹ in the Swiss ski resort of Davos for the annual World Economic Forum². But will all the talk at Davos actually make any difference? We find out more about the UK's job market this morning with the latest unemployment figures. We speak to a boss at the country's largest car factory. And is it about time some of our companies learned from the Germans? The government thinks so - we ask them why.
