Obama Pledges $1 Billion to Battle Ebola

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Obama Pledges $1 Billion to Battle Ebola

We hear a gripping account of what life is like on the ground in the African regions severely affected by Ebola.

But is it too little too late? We hear a gripping account of what life is like on the ground in the African regions severely affected by Ebola, and the myths and stigmas surrounding the disease that prevent them from seeking treatment. Also, we have a heated discussion on Scottish independence. With just one day to go until Scotland votes on whether or not it wants to become independent from the rest of the UK, we address some hotly contested issues: which currency will Scotland use, and will Scotland's decision set a precedence for other areas vying for independence, like Quebec and Catalonia? Finally we look at breaking up 'bro-gramming' - the brotherhood of computer programming - to allow more women in to technology. All this with our guests Shikha Dalmia, Senior Policy Analyst at the free market think thank Reason in Washington, and David Kuo of the Motley Fool investment website in Singapore.
