Business Matters: Brazil World Cup stadium tragedy 28 Nov 13

Thu, 28 Nov 13

Over budget, behind schedule, beset¹ by problems, the target of protests - now death and injury have become a feature of Brazil's world cup build up as a crane collapses² on the roof of a new multi-million dollar stadium in Sao Paolo. Also today: Is Bermuda part of a triangle of tax havens³ in the Caribbean? Its premier⁴ defends the territory's tax laws. And is it a sign that Sony's bouncing back, or losing the plot, with a patent application for a new electronic smart wig⁵.
