Argentine Peso Slumps
As the Argentine Peso continues its slide, capital controls are relaxed. Also, it's the end of an era - Britain's last deep pit coal mine closes - but demand for coal continues.
We talk to Marc Rogers, editor of The Argentina Independent, about the tumbling value of the country's currency. And whatever happened to Britain's coal miners? In 1920, there were almost 1.2 million miners but from today, there will be zero working in deep pit mines. As the last one hangs up his hat, we ask: what went wrong?
