Business Matters: US leaders promise co-operation 06 Nov 14

Thu, 6 Nov 14

Americans have voted for divided government, but top politicians say they'll work together for the good of the US economy. So what can a weakened President Obama and the triumphant¹ Republicans actually agree on, if anything? We speak to Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former economic advisor² to John McCain and former director of the Congressional Budget Office. We speak to India's finance minister about the country's big plans for foreign investment, and tackle him on the controversial decision to phase out cheap power and fuel for many. And we visit Tunisia several years on from the so-called Arab Spring, and ask whether sky high unemployment is proof the dreams of a new country have come to nothing. Plus, we talk to the 13-year-old tech entrepreneur from California, whose pocket money has just been given a huge boost by Intel, and we ask whether listening to music while cycling should be banned
