Ivory Coast sanctions

Will financial sanctions unseat Laurent Gbagbo and his supporters in Ivory Coast? Plus, pet transport for ex-pats, and should you strap a company laptop to a table, to guard against theft?

Will financial sanctions unseat Laurent Gbagbo and his supporters in Ivory Coast? Lesley Curwen talks to Professor Paul Collier of Oxford University, who says the most credible route to removing him is to change the interests of his senior officers 'so they realise their bread is buttered by getting him out of power.'

Jean Marc Anga, executive director of the International Cocoa Organisation, assesses the risk to the global cocoa industry from the volatile situation in Ivory Coast.

Plus, Ross Gays of World Care Pet Transport talks about the business of pet transport for ex-pats, and remembers the New York customer whose pet cat turned out to be a tiger.

And, should you strap a company laptop to a table at home, to guard against theft? Our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway looks at the drive to protect corporate secrets.
