WBR: EU Summit on Ukraine

Mon, 14 Apr 14

EU foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels to discuss the next steps on Ukraine. We speak to Chris Weafer of Moscow based consultants¹ Macro Advisory². And with Glencore Xtrata selling its stake in the Las Bambas copper³ mine in Peru to a Chinese consortium for nearly $6bn, we ask why is China so desperate for copper?
