WBR: The Future of Air Passenger Safety 25 July 14

Fri, 25 Jul 14

Following a string of fatal plane crashes, we ask what the industry can do to make us feel safer - the Chief Executive of Air France tells us that the air transport system is 'still very safe'. President Obama attacked firms that practice 'corporate1 inversions2' as unpatriotic, because they switch their tax base from the US to countries where they pay less tax, such as Ireland and the Netherlands. We speak to somebody from the CATO institute, who says Obama's tax reform 'sounds sensible' in principle - but implementation3 will be controversial. Finally, we take a look back at the week's biggest global business stories with Simon Constable4, a columnist5 with the Wall Street Journal in New York, and Vaiju Naravane of the Hindu newspaper in Paris.
