In the middle of the poorest state in India, Bihar, is one of the country's few industrial successes - a company town built round the TATA Steel Works.
Russi Mody, the man who runs it, went to Harrow and Oxford and once played duets with Albert Einstein. Today everywhere he goes in India he's garlanded and listened to with awe. He's India's best-known businessman, but he's also a pianist, a cordon bleu cook; and he tells reporter David Lomax that he hasn't had a strike at his works since 1928, is admired by the Unions and, at the age of 68, still enjoys flying his own private plane.

Can the Cuts Heal?
All over London hospitals are shutting wards and cancelling operations; some hospitals face complete closure, others have had to close their doors for weeks at a time to all but emergency admissions. Behind the cuts is the government strategy of shifting money away from the capital to other hard-stretched areas. All over the south east, health authorities like Medway are millions under budget, with long waiting lists and very old hospitals. But can they get their money without causing a total collapse of London's health service?
