From buying his first shares at just 11 years old to now retiring at 95, we look back at what has made Warren Buffett one of finance’s most successful figures - and hear from someone who knows him about his legacy.

Also, we look at the upcoming trial of a former military officer accused of blowing up one of Europe’s largest gas pipelines. (Picture: Warren Buffet. Credit: EPA)
