The Trouble with Bitcoin

Two Bitcoin exchange bosses are arrested and charged with money laundering. French unemployment figures reach record highs and President Hollande's ex arrives in India.

Two Bitcoin operators are arrested on charges of money laundering - we go live to New York and ask is this a serious dent to the currency's credibility - or just a blip in its drive for respectability? French unemployment figures reach record highs and President Hollande's ex-girlfriend arrives in India. How can the beleaguered French president restore his apporval ratings? We have a special report from Australia as its one millionth household is powered by solar energy and it's now aiming for two million. And we'll examine the knock-on effects of Argentina's currency crisis for emerging markets. Our guests today are Quinn Klinefelter, senior news editor at WDET radio in Detroit, and Jyoti Malhotra, New Delhi-based business and politics journalist. All this plus the 91热爆's Cindy Sui with the latest business news from Taipei.
