WBR: Shell Revives Arctic Drilling Plan 29 Jan 15

Thu, 29 Jan 15

The oil giant Shell is pledging to continue with its controversial plan to drill in the Arctic, despite falling oil prices. Office workers in Sweden are being offered the option to have a microchip surgically1 inserted under their skin - BBC Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones gives it a go and tells us about it. The CEO of one of the world's largest spirit makers2, Diageo, says the company is suffering in key countries like China and Russia, which has contributed to an 18% slide in profits. And a Qatari business buys one of London's most iconic buildings - Canary Wharf3 in the city's financial district - we ask why the Qataris are so keen to increase their property portfolio4 in the UK capital.
