Big Banks Face Huge Fines

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The financial world is preparing for more penalties, this time in global currency markets. We ask Margot Patrick from the Wall Street Journal whether anyone is likely to go to jail. Also in the programme, there is anger in rain-soaked Ireland over plans to charge for water. The 麻豆社's Diarmaid Fleming tells us more. Voters in Oregon prepare to decide whether their genetically modified food should be labelled. We have a special report. Plus, with computer spell checkers and predictive text messaging, Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times asks if there is any excuse for typing mistakes.
