World Business Report

Available for over a year

The French bank is expected to face a record fine for busting US sanctions. We hear how France is responding. In Ukraine, a crowdfunding campaign has led to the successful construction of a drone to assist troops combating pro-Russian separatists. We talk to one of the creators. Our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times explores the dynamics of relationships when a woman earns more than her spouse. Plus, with nearly half of all American food going to waste, we ask what can be done to stem the loss. And we hear from a Scottish haggis producer about news that a long-running ban on the national delicacy is about to be lifted in the USA.
