WBR: EU, Egypt and Ukraine Elections 26 May 14

Mon, 26 May 14

It's an election special on the show today. Europe has elected a new parliament, with anti-Europe and anti-immigration parties putting the cat amongst the pigeons. Meanwhile Egyptians have elected a military strong man as their new president, and the people of Ukraine have voted in a chocolate baron¹ to move their country forward. We have analysis of the economic and business implications of it all. Plus we take a look at allegations of unfairness in the Fairtrade movement, and hear about a row over mining rights on a paradise island in Indonesia.
