Italy PM Proposes Jobs Boost Programme

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Italy's prime minister proposes a new package to boost jobs. We analyse Matteo Renzi's reforms and their impact on the economy. Also as the US looks to tighten sanctions on Russia to discourage its involvement in Ukraine, Irwin Stelzer at the Hudson Institute tells us why some big US corporations are advising their government to tread carefully. It's been 30 years since the bitter, year-long miners' strike in the UK - which changed the industrial landscape of Britain. The 麻豆社's Len Tingle tells us about the lives of those affected, and how the mining regions look now. Finally do we all need to teach mathematics like the Chinese? (Image: Getty)
