Business Matters: Spain's king abdicates1 03 Jun 14

Tue, 3 Jun 14

King Juan Carlos of Spain announces he'll relinquish2 the throne but with the monarchy's popularity plummeting3 in recent years, how stable a kingdom will his son, Prince Felipe, inherit? President Obama unveils plans to cut carbon emissions4 from a thousand US coal-fired power plants by 30% in the next fifteen years. Bob Deans of the Natural Resources Defense5 Council tells us why it should make electricity cheaper for US householders, rather than the other way round. Simon Cohen joins us to explain why he has decided6 to give away his global PR agency and Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times insists it's never too late to follow your dreams. In our Singapore studio, David Kuo of The Motley Fool; in New York, Betsy Teutsch, author of new book '100 Under $100: The Women's Global Toolkit'.
