How will Asia, the powerhouse of the world economy, be affected by Japan's disaster? Graeme Maxton of the Insight Bureau, based in Singapore, predicts there will be volatility in markets and disruption to Asia's supply chains. He says the historic consequences could be as large as those of 9/11. Plus, entrepreneur Julie Meyer of Ariadne Capital and James Breiding of Naissance Capital discuss whether companies should be obliged to put a minimum number of women on their boards. And technology commentator Jeremy Wagstaff worries about new ways to invade our online privacy.
