India's government has presented a big-spending budget, with billions earmarked for rural development, and what's being called the world's largest state-funded healthcare programme. Meanwhile, Rahul Tandon reports from West Bengal on the challenge of creating more jobs in rural areas. Also, with the UK and the rest of the EU at odds again over citizens' rights and trade, we hear from economists on opposite sides of the debate. And we have our latest interview with the director of an Oscar-nominated short documentary. It's about a top restaurant run entirely by ex-convicts. Presenter Roger Hearing is joined on the programme by Jyoti Malhotra, Consulting Editor at Indian Express, in Delhi, and Professor Peter Morici, from the University of Maryland, who is in Washington.
