WBR: Europe's Right Turn 28 May 14

Wed¹, 28 May 14

As Europe's political parties of the Far Right celebrate the stamp they've made on the continent's recent elections, we ask if the landscape may being moving in such a way as to threaten one of the central pillars of the European Treaty: the free movement of labour. Plus, will the benefits of Mozambique's newly found gas bonanza² trickle³ down to all the country's citizens? Also, why your morning cup of coffee could get more expensive and why the future of motoring could be driverless.
