Business Matters: EU Summit & Eurovision Song Contest

Sat, 23 May 15

EU leaders meet with ex-Soviet states at a summit in Latvia, but stress it's not an anti-Russian beauty contest. We talk to Estonia's Prime Minister Taavi R?ivas, and get some analysis from Olexiy Solohubenko, the BBC's Eastern Europe specialist. Plus we speak to the man who has been called the Sherlock Holmes of the art world - Chris Marinello, the boss of Art Recovery International. Kai Ryssdal from our partner station Marketplace interviews the director of a documentary called Shake the Dust, which chronicles the influence of hip¹ hop² music and break-dancing in slums and ghettos all around the world. And as the 60th Eurovision Song Contest gets underway in Austria, we discuss the politics and the business behind the glitz-and-pop-fest. Our guest is Peter Ryan, Business Editor at ABC in Sydney.
