WBR: eBay hacked¹ 21 May 14

Wed², 21 May 14

The auction³ site eBay is forcing users to change their passwords after a cyber-attack compromised its systems. We hear how big a security scare it really is. Also Russia has signed a huge multi-billion dollar gas deal with China as it looks for new customers for its gas, as the Ukraine crisis prompts Europe to reconsider its reliance on Russian supplies. Plus has a borderless Europe been good news or bad news for the continent's economy? We hear conflicting views from two European politicians and hear how EU migrants have fared in London.
