"Business Matters: Australia reflects on deadly cafe siege 16 Dec 14

Tue, 16 Dec 14

Australia's Prime Minister offers the nation words of reassurance1 after a prolonged hostage siege ended with 3 people dead. We get the latest from the BBC's Jonathan Head in Sydney. Business Reporter Rob Young tells us about Russia's central bank hiking its key interest rate. Plus, ten years on from the devastating2 Asian tsunami3 we hear from the BBC's Rahul Tandon on the recovery that's been achieved. There have been important developments in the fight against two lethal4 diseases - a new bodysuit for health-workers tackling ebola and a possible new vaccine5 against dengue fever. Plus, Lucy Kellaway tells us why we should fear getting too comfortable more than fear itself. Our guests are Shika Dalmia of the Reason Foundation joining us from Washington DC and Angela Mancini of Control Risks in Singapore.
