Business Matters: Libor trader faces trial

Wed, 27 May 15

The first trader to face a criminal trial over accusations he fixed a key bank lending rate appears in court. We hear from BBC correspondent Emma Simpson, who was in court. The US retailer Amazon bows to anger over how much tax it pays in Europe. Lisa Fleisher, a tech reporter for the Wall Street Journal, tells us whether the move has broader ramifications. And we find out whether the urban farmers of New York City can teach their rural counterparts a thing or two about saving water. We're joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the pacific - in Chicago Nova Safo, reporter for our colleagues at the US public radio show Marketplace - and in Hong Kong, Ben Simpfendorfer of Silk Road Associates.
