Business Matters: Ukraine crisis escalates1 16 Apr 14

Wed2, 16 Apr 14

Kiev-based journalist Reuben Johnson gives us his view on the situation in Ukraine. He's currently in Singapore for a defence systems expo, where Ukrainian and Russian delegates are competing for sales. Bolivia's President Evo Morales presents papers to the International Court of Justice in the Hague, demanding the return of land claimed by Chile after the 1870 war; land which would give landlocked Bolivians access to the sea once more. But what do ordinary Bolivians think? We find out. And Rob Cameron meets two young men from Prague who plan to travel the length of the River Elba - some 900 kilometres - aboard a giant pedalo made from re-purposed drinks bottles. Madness? You decide. Natasha Vargas Cooper in Van Nuys, California and David Kuo in Singapore discuss significant, transformational and just plain embarrassing personal stories. Also on the agenda: David's dream haircut and Natasha's desire to see the world's dictators once more sporting prominent moustaches.
