Businesses Respond to Catalonia Crisis

We gauge the mood of businesses in Catalonia as Madrid takes control of its institutions.

We gauge the mood of businesses in Catalonia as Madrid takes control of its institutions. We hear from the business community in Spain and ask about the difficulties of the current situation. Also, we hear from the US to find out who is favoured to become the next Chair of one of the most powerful financial institutions in the world: the Federal Reserve. We take a health check of the Worldwide Web with Mark Surman, director of the Mozilla Foundation, which maintains the Firefox web browser. We find out why celebrity chefs hitting social media in Nigeria has led to a resurgence of traditional dishes in the country's finest restaurants. Plus we hear about a Japanese marketing firm that has added six days of annual leave for non-smoking workers to compensate for the amount of time their smoking colleagues spend on breaks.
