"Business Matters: Obama visits Myanmar 13 Nov 14

Thu, 13 Nov 14

US president Barack Obama is to hold talks with Myanmar's President Thein Sein. He is expected to accuse Sein's government of backsliding on reforms. We find out whether the easing of US sanctions on the country has meant that Washington has now lost its hold over the Myanmar government. Also, a European robot probe has made the first, historic landing on a comet millions of miles away. We explore what this means for the future of space travel and the possibilities of doing business in space. Plus, as six of the world's biggest banks face fines over foreign exchange rigging, we investigate the culture of traders. We discuss all this with Alison van Diggelen, host of radio programme Fresh Dialogues in San Francisco and Heather Timmons, Asia Correspondent for Quartz¹ in Hong Kong.
