"Business Matters: Obama openly Criticises Sony 20 Dec 14

Sat, 20 Dec 14

Was Sony wrong to cancel the release of 'The interview' following a cyber attack? President Obama certainly thinks so. The Franciscan religious order is famous for its vow1 of poverty, but now they have become embroiled2 in financial scandal involving up to tens of millions of dollars. And why Nigeria's Naira is following the Rouble's downward path - can the central bank stop the currency falling? Plus we'll find out how independent Toy retailers3 are coping with the online competition in the run up to Christmas and we try out Skype's new translation tool. Discussing these stories, we are joined by Professor Danny Samson of the University of Melbourne.
