World Business Report

Available for over a year

President Obama asks Congress for $3.7 billion to help deal with a growing number of child migrants flooding across the Texas border from Central America. We hear what is driving the influx and how the money will be spent. Meanwhile, a major summit on jobs in Paris causes controversy as many trade unions refuse to attend. Also, as the French retailer Carrefour announces that it is quitting India, we examine the country's barriers to foreign investment with Dr Sourindra Banerjee from the UK's Warwick Business School.
