Oil prices slide after Opec deal collapses

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Oil prices slide after Opec deal collapses

Major producers could not agree on a deal to cut output, a plan aimed at steadying prices

We bring you the latest on the coronavirus and the impact it's having on financial markets, and workplaces around the world. How do bosses balance the welfare of their workers with the need to make profits?

Ed Butler is joined throughout the programme by Sharon Brettkelly, presenter of The Detail podcast on Radio New Zealand, from Auckland.
