BBC World Service - Business Matters, Turkey earthquakes: UN launches $1 billion appeal

United Nations appeals for $1 billion to help earthquake victims

The United Nations has launched a $1 billion appeal for the Turkish people affected by the earthquakes.

The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is seeking international support for the people of Turkey who were affected by the massive earthquakes. 

We also talk about the issues around changing pensions and the retirement age which have sparked weeks of protest in France.

Will Bain talks through these issues with Isin Elicin, a freelance journalist based in Istanbul in Turkey and Ralph Silva from the Silva Research Network in Toronto.
