Business Matters: China to overtake the US? 30 Apr 14

Wed1, 30 Apr 14

Will China overtake the US as the world's biggest economy this year? The International Comparison Programme seems to think so and it's hosted by the World Bank.

The BBC's Will Grant, in Mexico, explains why violent drug cartels are to blame. Ucilia Wang in Oakland, California, is one of the founders2 of Climate Confidential3, a new magazine with a new business model, published online via the Beacon4 Reader website. So what is Beacon Reader and how does Climate Confidential work? Ucilia reveals all. And finally, after more than eighteen months of wild speculation5 in the press and online, the cast of Star Wars VII has been announced. Sandro Monetti has the latest from Hollywood.
