BBC World Service - World Business Report, Dilma Rousseff in Key Senate Hearing

Brazil's suspended president has defended her record during her impeachment trial.

Brazil's suspended president Dilma Rousseff has made a last-ditch effort in the country's Senate to avoid being impeached. The BBC’s Daniel Gallas reports. Germany’s economy minister Sigmar Gabriel says negotiations for a new EU-US trade deal have failed. Gary Huffbauer, a trade expert at the Petersen Institute, gives us his view from Washington. ‘A painful chapter is now coming to an end’ - the words of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos as he signed a decree to halt military operations against left wing rebels - the Farc. Rupert Stebbings of BanColombia in Medellin tells us what it might mean for the country’s economy. The BBC’s George Thomas looks at how steam railway travel is revitalising parts the south-west of England. And we spend so much time at work, in a supposedly professional environment. Our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times thinks we’re not nice enough to our colleagues – any why she thinks technology could be to blame.
