As American troops prepare to leave Iraq, how close is the country to having a functioning modern economy? The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Baghdad. He discovers that the French are the big winners in the quest to invest in Iraq's oil industry. Plus, how Spain might drag itself out of the eurozone mire. Lesley Curwen talks to Javier Díaz-Giménez, Professor of Economics at the I.E.S.E. business school and a former adviser to the Spanish government. And technology commentator Jeremy Wagstaff wonders whether Microsoft might have the edge on Apple with its new voice-operated interface, Kinect.
