Curtains up: theatre's take on the financial crisis

Is there such a thing as a low-cost war, in terms of manpower as well as money? We look at the changing face of armed conflicts. Countries are going to great lengths to avoid putting their soldiers in harm's way. Instead of boots on the ground, the focus is shifting to high-tech warfare from afar.

A fierce battle is taking place in the Caribbean. This is not a Hollywood blockbuster with pirates, but rather a bitter legal fight between drinks-makers Bacardi and France's Pernod Ricard. Both of them are using the name "Havana Club" on their rum bottles, which has sparked a trademark war without precedent.
