WBR: Are fears over EU US trade deal valid1? 26 Feb 15

Thu, 26 Feb 15

The US and EU are negotiating a deal which could be the biggest trade agreement in history - but who will be the winners and losers? The BBC has obtained a draft of what the EU wants excluded from the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership2 or TTIP. One such exclusion3 would remove publicly-funded health services like Britain's National Health Service. India's government has announced a $170bn injection of cash for its ageing railway network over the next 5 years - the BBC's Ashleigh Nghiem reports from Mumbai. Brazil's biggest energy company, Petrobras, has been engulfed4 in a corruption5 scandal involving allegations of price fixing and bribes6 paid to politicians. The BBC's South America Business Correspondent Daniel Gallas looks at how one of Brazil's largest and most admired companies fell from grace. And what to do when recruitment goes disastrously7 wrong - our regular commentator8 Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times gives her take on hiring and firing.
