BBC World Service - World Business Report, US Senate Eyes Finish Line in Tax Overhaul

American lawmakers inch closer to passing tax reform legislation in the Senate.

As American lawmakers inch closer to passing tax reform legislation in the Senate, Bipartisan Policy Center senior advisor Steve Bell – former staff director of the Senate Budget Committee, tells us what Senators are on board and what a legislative victory would mean for the Trump administration. Also in the programme, Chris Low of FTN Financial parses the rollercoaster ride on Wall Street during Friday’s session, and UNCHR’s representative to Libya talks about the evidence of Libyan slave markets in a post-Gadaffi world. Plus,  we take a deep dive into  why a fear of failure has led to some of Japan’s recent corporate scandals.
