World Bank Leadership

The stakes are high in the race to lead the World Bank. Has President Obama's candidate got it all sewn up? Plus, one hundred years of the Titanic industry.

The stakes are high in the race to lead the World Bank. Has President Obama's candidate, Dr Jim Yong Kim, got it all sewn up - or do the Nigerian or Colombian runners have an outside chance? Joining the programme are backers of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Jose Antonio Ocampo, who've each signed mass letters of support for their candidates. They are Uri Dadush, Former World Bank Director of Policy, and Sir Richard Jolly, who used to be United Nations Assistant Secretary-General, working for Unicef.

Plus, our regular commentator Peter York on 100 years of the Titanic industry.
