Putin Begins Greece Visit

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Russian President Vladimir Putin has started a two day visit to Greece to try and re-energise relations with one of its closest European allies. Economic inequality in Brazil has led to the government announcing deeper austerity measures - just as the country prepares to host the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. We also look at one Chinese advert for laundry detergent - and hear why it has been called "appallingly racist" - we find out why. All this with our guest Colin Peacock from Radio New Zealand.
