Business Matters: Migrants on the move

Migrants on the move

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Migrants on the move

Migrants move from Hungary towards Germany.  We look at the economic case for taking in migrants.

Is there an economic - as well as a moral - argument behind Germany's pledge to take in more migrants? And can that argument be extended to other EU countries? We speak to Matthias Mayer, from the German think tank Bertelsmann Stiftung, and Jason Karaian, senior Europe correspondent at Quartz. 
''A desperate measure aimed at suppressing dissent''. That's how Greenpeace has described the decision by the Indian government to cancel a licence which allows the environmental pressure group to receive foreign funds. Narendra Modi's administration accuses the environmental group of violating rules governing overseas funding. Priya Pillai of Greenpeace India sets out the opposite view. 
In our regular round up of the week's news, John Edwards, deputy business editor at the Wall Street Journal in London, and Gina Chon, of the Financial Times in Washington, discuss: the mounting refugee crisis in Europe; the Chinese journalists being publicly shamed for 'spreading rumours' about the stock market crash; and whether India's "cloud schools" could be the future for education. 
And guest Rohan Workman, Director of the Melbourne Accelerator Program joints us throughout the programme and tells us about the new medical technologies he hopes will improve quality of life.
