	Description:		European plane maker Airbus has pulled the plug on its struggling A380 superjumbo. Nicola Clark wrote 'Airbus: The First 50 Years', and tells us where things went wrong for the double-decker plane. Also in the programme, Germany narrowly avoided a recession during the final three months of last year, registering zero growth during the fourth quarter. Berlin-based businesswoman Stephanie Bschorr gauges the health of the country's economy. We hear from young people in Nigeria, about their hopes for a more prosperous future ahead of this weekend's general election. Our regular US economic commentator, Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute, asks what Amazon's board may be making of its chief executive's spat with the US tabloid newspaper the National Enquirer. Plus, on Valentine's Day, our reporter asks whether when it comes to finding a life partner, you should let your heart rule your head, or the other way around. (Picture: An Airbus A380.
