"Business Matters: Russia acting like 'terrorist state' 6 Dec 14

Sat, 6 Dec 14

The president of Lithuania says Russia is acting like a terrorist state - we speak to President Dalia Grybauskaite to ask her why she thinks so. As wages remain low in the US and Europe, we find out that this has a lot to do with corporate penny pinching. The Vatican has suddenly found millions of Euro in 'off balance sheets' - but we ask why it raises more questions than answers. We have a report on gentrification in the US, and what the pros and cons are. Finally, how is it possible for a four-year-old app to be valued at $40 billion? We ask how ride booking app Uber became more valuable than some of the world's biggest airlines. All this with our guest Ralph Silva, a markets and financial analyst based in Toronto.
