Fri, 19 Mar 10：Trouble and strife
Duration:27 mins
Business Weekly gets gloomy this week. The troubles of the Spanish economy, the troubles of African corruption and the troubles of the Middle East. Except that the Palestinian stock market is booming. What's going on? A silver lining. Maybe its not so gloomy after all.
Fri, 26 Mar 10:China and Zimbabwe
Duration:27 mins
America is getting tough with China. It argues that Beijing is keeping its currency artificially low with the result that the rest of the world has higher unemployment. Steve Evans talks to C. Fred Bergsten, the director of the Petersen Institute for International Economics. Lesley Curwen talks to Jim Rogers, who used to be the partner of another legendary financier, George Soros. And a new property redistribution law in Zimbabwe: Is it fair? Is it economically wise? Plus, he wears a baseball cap sideways and low slung pants, the rapping economics Professor Dan Hamermesh, tells us how he entertains his young students with his end of term, version of a rap.
Papers, poetry and politics
Duration:27 mins
Words feature heavily in Business Weekly today. Google on how the wordsmiths in papers can survive. How we read words on-line differently from on paper. How poets read capitalism. How not to forget words. Plus: should a company be president of the United States?
Happiness, Money and Work
Duration:27 mins
Business Weekly reflects on money and happiness. We will present you with two cases: a train driver who's whistled through life with a smile; and Tiger Woods who gets perhaps a hundred million dollars a year for playing a game, and is far from happy. Plus an interview with China's top official in Africa.
China, Japan and Antarctica
Duration:28 mins
How close is China to a revaluation of its currency? The United States says its holding the rate with the dollar too low so China is exporting unemployment, but is Beijing's policy likely to change any time soon? And why are prices are falling in the Land of the Rising Sun? And why is there seemingly little urgency to really tackle deflation? Ken Cukier, the Japan business and finance correspondent for The Economist, explains why. And Stephanie Flanders reports from Ireland on the pain and recovery of the Celtic Tiger. Plus, meteorologist Tamsin Gray describes her working life in Antarctica. On the lighter side, she outlines the joy of washing hair in temperatures of minus 50C, and holding it upside down so it freezes in a shock of long icicles.
Cash, ash and balls
Duration:27 mins
We dwell on cash and ash this week. Toxic cash from Wall Street and volcanic ash from Iceland that forced a chief executive, Pedro Beitra, onto a bus. Perish the thought. Plus Spanish students and economist Luis Garicano on sky-high unemployment. And watch the birdie, in China. The unstoppable rise of golf.
Riots in the Age of Austerity?
Duration:28 mins
When does anger turn to riot? As governments tighten belts from Iceland to Greece, lessons from 200 years ago about when poverty erupts into violence. It's not when people are at their worst off. And who owns the picture on your tee-shirt? Copyright and the rights of photographers in the age of the web.
Uncertainty
Duration:27 mins
The theme of this week seemed to be uncertainty - uncertainty swirling around the markets in government debt, spooked by the trouble with Greece and other eurozone nations. And uncertainty in Britain as a result of the general election.
A Stimulating Stimulus?
Duration:27 mins
Is the stimulus doing its job of creating work? We report from California on how the money from Washington is being spent. Steve Evans visits a massive construction project near San Francisco. He talks to workers and managers, as well as the woman charged with making sure California's stimulus money is being spent properly. Plus, computer graphics that seem as real as life itself, and the tale of the multi-millionaire searching for a cure for his paralysis.
Advice for Greece
Duration:28 mins
Business Weekly has advice - advice to Greeks seeking gifts: get a Plan B. And surprising advice to Greece from Africa and Turkey. Plus advice to tech-minded girls who want to be engineers from three top female engineering executives who broke the glass ceiling.
Dreams and Nightmares
Duration:27 mins
In the programme: the man who tastes chocolate for a living. Is it a dream job? And the man who's trying to save the Euro. Is it a nightmare job? Plus two conundrums: has the generous shine gone off Apple? And how did a Penguin produce a Puffin - but fail to net a Potter?
West African Journey
Duration:30 mins
Stephen Evans travels through Africa on a bus studying the power of money. Is it a force for good or bad? We meet a tribal chief worried about Ghana's oil and a man aleady making a profit from it.
Engulfed in Trouble
Duration:27 mins
Lesley Curwen considers the nightmares of BP's embattled CEO with a former boss of Shell, and the joys of underwear with former Australian supermodel, Elle McPherson. Plus is Zimbabwe guilty of diamond smuggling? And Steve Evans gets sex tips from a Benin voodoo salesman.
CEO's Under Pressure
Duration:28 mins
Meet the man top CEO's turn to for sympathy. Plus, greenery in the White House: is President Obama going the environmental way of President Carter? And have workers in communist China learnt to strike for pay like their capitalist comrades?
Age Of Austerity
Duration:28 mins
The riches of Afghanistan and the poverty of governments. Who's winning the World Cup: Nike or Adidas? Plus, is America being racist in the different ways it treats the disaster in the Gulf and the disaster at Bhopal?
Borders without Barriers
Duration:27 mins
East Africa's trying to free up trade across its congested borders - but will it work? And Lesley Curwen is revving up on the grid to bring you the chairman of Ferrari, who says Europe's politicians are failing to deal with the euro crisis. Plus the British empire is gone, but is the Queens English at the peak of its global power ?
Product Placement
Duration:27 mins
When you see a product on the screen at the World Cup or a movie, does it make you buy that product? Plus Mick Jagger says there was a sweet spot in musical history when musicians made piles of money. They didn't before and they won't again.
China Re-invents Itself
Duration:27 mins
Chinese underground music, American financial reforms and a whopping dose of envy. Can envying your colleagues be a good motivator - or can it be destructive and even damage your company's bottom line?
The Old and the New
Duration:26 mins
Business Weekly considers the harshness of our new world - how todays cut- throat world of banking compares to gentler days, and how best to blend the two. We look at brash new forms of journalism out to persuade Net-savvy readers to keep on clicking. And there's the old forms - where you could spend a lifetime in one newsroom.
Cleaning up reputations
Duration:27 mins
Steve Evans looks back at a week of attempted clean-ups. BP are not just financing efforts to reduce the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, they're also trying to limit the damage to their tarnished brand - announcing the replacement of their company CEO Tony Haywood, after months of negative headlines. In Europe meanwhile governments are examining new rules to clean up the banking system.
It's all who you know
Duration:27 mins
We examine the modern world of business networks, from the school that created many of the globe's top business leaders, to the man who first taught us how to make friends and influence people. Plus there's online social networks, speed networking, and the real-life entrepreneurs who trawl the planet in search of new opportunities.
A glimpse of the future
Duration:28 mins
Mark Jacobson, professor of engineering at Stanford University, says renewable energy can power the world in 40 years' time. But Nathan Lewis, professor of chemistry at the California Institute of Technology, argues that more money should go in to nuclear power. A top Malaysian businessman, Muhammad Ali Hashim, calls for a business jihad. Plus televison analyst Anthony Rose on how we will be watching TV in the next decade. And Lucy Kellaway from the Financial Times on insulting why it is so easy to hate BP.
China's hidden bank loans
Duration:27 mins
Is China's economy still overheating? Should governments try to protect consumers against rises in food and fuel prices? Does private equity work? And are too many workers speaking from a script?
Muslim brands and talking cars
Duration:27 mins
Steve Evans talks to Muslim businessman, Rafi-uddin Shikoh, who is worried that so few firms from Muslim countries make it as top global brands. Professor Cliff Nass runs a laboratory in California working out how cars can get more driver-friendly - by starting to think for themselves. Are we too fearful of the new world of cyberspace and its viruses, worms and trojans waiting to insinuate themselves into our computers for purposes of vandalism or theft? Our regular commentator, Jeremy Wagstaff, thinks we might be over-reacting. Plus, should you breast feed in the office?
Double dip recession?
Duration:29 mins
Will a doublde dip recession in America really happen - or could slow growth feel just as bad as another recession? As US combat operations end in Iraq, we look at the power cuts still crippling the country seven years after the invasion. And getting bruised and battered in an extreme sailing race - all set up to make a commercial profit.
Austerity measures
Duration:27 mins
Two views of Europe - hard times in Latvia, and boom time in Germany. Plus, how easy is it to re-start or repair your career? We have advice on starting again from the lawyer who was at the centre of the shredding affair at Enron. And we meet the man who keeps on swapping jobs; and has gone from ballet dancer to banker.
Reining in the banks
Duration:27 mins
Irresponsible lending by banks has been fingered as being one of the main causes behind the Great Recession. This week central bankers, at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), agreed on new rules aimed at reining in commercial lenders. But will they work? Lesley Curwen speaks to Stephen Cecchetti, the Head of the Monetary and Economic Department at the BIS. As the oil producers' group Opec marks its 50th birthday, Jonny Dymond speaks to its secretary general, Abdullah al-Badri, about whether it has been a force for good for consumers as well as producers. And if you are over the age of 30 you may remember the day when people were just 'people', rather than 'consumers' or 'customers'. What innocent days they seem. Our trend spotter, Peter York, says the rise of marketing has changed the way we speak about the world around us.
Crisis and opportunity
Duration:27 mins
Business Weekly looks at growth in Africa, food in Mexico, shipping in the Arctic and banks in Europe. From climate change to the tortilla riots: can crisis and opportunity go hand in hand?
After the storm
Duration:27 mins
The Irish government has made another effort to rescue the country's financial sector. Saving Anglo Irish Bank could cost Ireland nearly $70bn but the government says it has no choice. Jonny Dymond speaks to economist and author Michael O'Sullivan who says the country has taken a wrong turn. Germany is seen as being back on the path to prosperity, but, as it marks 20 years since reunification, young people from what was East Germany wonder what the new age has offered them. And Tanzania's former president, Benjamin Mkapa, says that there can be more investment in Africa if trade barriers between countries on the continent come down.
Hard Times Migration
Duration:27 mins
Time to return home or seek a better life abroad? How high unemployment in the developed world is affecting migration. And, should farmland be freely bought and sold by investors, or should small farmers be protected? We hear both sides of the debate. Plus, how five year-olds in Britain are learning about business by selling breakfast to their classmates.
