Business Matters: Taiwan Gas Pipe Explosion 1 Aug 14

Fri, 1 Aug 14

We hear the latest on the gas pipe explosion in Taiwan, as more are confirmed dead and injured. We report on trade talks by the World Trade Organisation1, who are trying to reduce India stockpiling on grains, to reduce red tape and dumping on the international market - but what if India faces another famine? Also, there are painful memories brought back for Argentinians in the face of its latest debt default. Sales of illegal drugs on 'Dark Net' - the secret trading part of the internet - have doubled in the last year - we speak to some of the traders. San Francisco property prices have gone up hugely, with a record number of homes going for upwards2 of $1 million - we look at why this is due to the technology millionaires in nearby Silicon3 Valley. Finally, we take a look at new, silent electric planes. All this with guests Revathy Ashok from the Bangalore Political Action Committee in India, and Bill Stone, an American engineer, and CEO of Stone Aerospace4 in Texas.
