"Business Matters: Putin Warns of Hard Times Ahead 5 Dec 14

Fri, 5 Dec 14

Russia's leader president Putin says Western sanctions are the main reason his country is facing recession. We ask if people believe him. We have a report from India about a 2000 year old cow selling event that has attracted over 4 million people this month. And with more protests in New York and across America over the killing of a black man during a police arrest - how far is the US a post-racial society? Finally, we speak to the Mithika Aborigines in Australia about why they're protesting fracking on their land. All this with guests Peter Morici, an economist at the University of Maryland who's in Washington, and Tianjie Ma of Greenpeace China, Program Director for mainland China joining us from Beijing.
