Toys R Us Files For Bankruptcy in US

The struggling retailer has filed for bankruptcy as it attempts to restructure its debts.

The struggling retailer has filed for bankruptcy as it attempts to restructure its debts. We get analysis from toy expert Jim Silver of website TTPM.com. Also in the programme, as the US Federal Reserve meets to discuss the next move for interest rates, our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics tells us what board members will be discussing. We have a report on moves by the Missionaries of Charity to trademark an item of clothing closely associated with Saint Teresa, formerly known as Mother Teresa of Calcutta. We hear about changes to health care provision in Angola. Plus we head to a beer festival in London to find out about the rise of micro-breweries.
