UK Budget Unveiled
Britain's finance minister Philip Hammond has unveiled his latest budget plans.
Britain's finance minister Philip Hammond has unveiled his latest budget plans. We get reaction from our regular economic commentator, Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, and tax campaigner Richard Murphy from City University. Also in the programme, the main communications regulator in the US has unveiled plans to allow internet service providers to charge a premium for some internet traffic, ending so-called 'net neutrality'. Michael Beckerman is head of the Internet Association in the US, and tells us why he thinks that's a bad idea. Following the resignation of Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe, we ask Clemence Mutembo, chief executive of the Harare Business Forum, what the country's business community is hoping for. Plus we find out about a plan that could see electric cars turned into virtual power stations.
