Trump Targets Obama Legacy

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Trump Targets Obama Legacy

As the Obama administration gives up on TPP which other flagship policies will topple?

President Obama's administration says it will end efforts to push through the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Which of the president's other key policies will Trump topple?

Barack Obama's administration suspends its efforts to win congressional approval for the Trans-Pacific Partnership before president-elect Trump takes office. The TPP agreement was aimed at reducing trade barriers erected by some of the fastest growing economies in Asia and was one of president Obama's key trade goals.  But Donald Trump has said he is against the deal, so what else of Mr Obama's legacy will he look to tear up?

India's giant Tata Group is struggling on two fronts. Quarterly results for one of the key consortium members, Tata Steel, showed losses of nearly 500 million rupees - around 7.5 million dollars.  And there's unprecedented turbulence in the boardroom too.  We hear from the BBC's Sameer Hashmi in Mumbai.

And we hear about a huge array of  American inventions,  in an interview with the American writer Kevin Baker. He tells Fergus Nicoll about his new book  called America the Ingenious: How a Nation of Dreamers, Immigrants and Tinkerers Changed the World. 

Plus, why Finland is campaigning for a series of national emojis.

Throughout the programme Fergus Nicoll is joined by Clinve Hunton from ABC News Radio in Canberra, Australia.
