EU-Switzerland Meeting Agrees Future Funds

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Switzerland has agreed to contribute a further $1.3bn to the EU over ten years. The 麻豆社's Imogen Foulkes explains the implications of today's visit to Switzerland by European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker. Also in the programme, the British parliament is swinging into action in the fight against air pollution. Alan Andrews of the environmental organisation Client Earth tells us what needs to happen to tackle the problem. And Japan's economy may be booming again, but its problems are far from solved, as we hear from the 麻豆社's Szu Ping Chan. Plus we have a report on the growth potential for online gaming in Africa, from the electronic games festival in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. (Picture: Jean-Claude Juncker and Doris Leuthard.
