Europe lifts sanctions on Burma

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The EU has given its seal of approval to reforms in Burma, scrapping most of its sanctions. We ask what it means for Burmese business - and whether it's too soon. The US is changing the way it measures the size of its economy - we hear why. Also as giant European airline Lufthansa is grounded by a strike, we hear why industrial unrest in Germany is growing. The boss of Google, Eric Schmidt, admits that its next-generation Google Glass does raise privacy concerns - and Lucy Kellaway on why it's pointless asking teenagers what they want to be when they grow up.
