The UK government says it is going after the big multinational corporations who do not pay their taxes - but how can they succeed? Also, cider goes upmarket but can it be as successful as craft beers. We also look at Britain's announcement that it will pay off its last World War One bonds. And, we hear about the strange and very long life of government debt, from a scripophile. Finally, we look at the strange blending of two of Scotland's oldest products - whiskey and tweed. All this with our guests Vicky Mohieddeen, who runs tours to North Korea from Beijing, and Jose Martin who is a radical organiser in New York.
