Business Matters: Libor trader faces trial

Wed¹, 27 May 15

The first trader to face a criminal trial over accusations² he fixed³ a key bank lending rate appears in court. We hear from BBC correspondent Emma Simpson, who was in court. The US retailer⁴ Amazon bows to anger over how much tax it pays in Europe. Lisa Fleisher, a tech reporter for the Wall Street Journal, tells us whether the move has broader ramifications⁵. And we find out whether the urban farmers of New York City can teach their rural counterparts a thing or two about saving water. We're joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the pacific - in Chicago Nova Safo, reporter for our colleagues at the US public radio show Marketplace - and in Hong Kong, Ben Simpfendorfer of Silk Road Associates.
