Business Bites: Record losses for Sony
Sony has announced it will post annual losses for 2011 which are double what they had forecast in February.

The company announced sweeping changes to its business practices and analysts are speculating that it may have to lose some 10,000 jobs, which equates to about 6% of its global workforce.
Meanwhile, with a final flight from Heathrow to Delhi today, India's Kingfisher Airlines is ending all international operations.
