Business Matters: Shell's Brazil gamble in BG deal 9 April 15
Thu, 9 Apr 15
Shell's $70bn merger1 with BG Group is one of the biggest deals of the year, but it could hit trouble over rights to key oil and gas fields in Brazil. Police in London reveal up to 70 safety deposit boxes were opened by thieves when they broke into a vault2 in London's Hatton Garden jewellery quarter over the Easter weekend, stealing an estimated $300m worth of goods. So just how safe are safety deposit boxes? The University of Cape3 Town in South Africa removes a statue of British colonialist Cecil Rhodes from its campus after a month-long protest by students, who called it a symbol of institutional racism4. So we ask when, if ever, is it a good idea to get rid of statues of people who have gone out of favour? As the premier5 event in golf - the Masters at Augusta, Georgia - prepares to tee off, we ask why there won't be any Chinese players taking part and why China has such a fractious relationship with the game.
