WBR: Scotland Oil and Gas Reserves In The Spotlight1 18 Aug 14

Mon, 18 Aug 14

One month until Scotland's independence vote, we examine one key economic issue that's dividing the yes and no camps - oil and gas in Scottish waters in the North Sea. As economic tensions between Russia and the West ramp2 up, one European country - Switzerland - is profiting from the tit-for-tat sanctions. We hear from happy Swiss business owners. Also in the programme, worried that the UK may be becoming isolated3 from the rest of Europe, US banks are supposedly drawing up contingency4 plans to move elsewhere. But where would they go? Plus, we hear about the latest technique to sniff5 out counterfeit6 dollar bills - machines that identify the particular -smell- of American money. And Lucy Kellaway from the Financial Times gives us her thoughts on Daimler's recent ruling that staff on vacation can delete all the email that arrives when they're away.
