Stephen King - Economist

Stephen Sackur speaks to Stephen King, the influential economist, writer and former chief economist to HSBC bank. The western world's position as the dominant force in global politics and economics is confused and uncertain, with the recent elections in the UK and France pointing to fractures in Europe.

Meanwhile, president Trump and Angela Merkel have worldviews that are poles apart and the western consensus on liberal economics and globalisation is at loggerheads. Is globalisation stuck in reverse gear?

Vladimir Yakunin, Former President of Russian Railways

Stephen Sackur speaks to the former head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin. For the past 17 years Vladimir Putin has ruled Russia - as president or prime minister. But he hasn't done it alone. He has beenbacked by a coterie of trusted associates, connected through past ties in St Petersburg, or in the KGB or in business. Yakunin was part of President Putin's inner circle, so much so the US made him a target of sanctions after the invasion of Crimea. Are cracks showing in the Putin project?
