Another day, another announcement from the US administration. The H-1B - a special visa which allows companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers, now comes with a $100,000 price tag. Our presenter, Sarah Rogers, speaks to an immigration lawyer from the US on what this will mean. Also, tax simplification in India. Indians should find a host of products from everyday essentials like milk, to cars and TVs, will get cheaper. And the Pompidou centre - Europe’s largest bastion of modern and contemporary art - has closed for a half-a-billion dollar restoration project.
