US economy slams into reverse

World Business Report

Available for over a year

As the US economy slams into reverse we ask whether it heralds the start of real trouble or if it can just be blamed on bad weather. Should e-cigarettes be regulated? Public health specialists in the UK have urged the World Health Organisation not to "control and suppress" e-cigarettes as it prepares to publish global guidelines on the devices. We get both sides of the argument. Violence-torn Libya pleads with international investors to return. Will they be enticed? Also in the programme, how scandals took the shine off Indian Premier League cricket.
