Brazil Deploys Army Against Zika Outbreak

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Brazil says it will deploy the army to warn about the risks of the Zika virus. Travel expert Simon Calder tells us how the tourism industry there and elsewhere in Latin America is preparing for the spread of the disease. Also in the programme, Belgrade has a new central railway station, but despite grand ambitions, it's far from finished. And the BBC's Rebecca Henschke reports from Jakarta on a growing waste management crisis in the city. (Picture: An Aedes aegypti mosquito. Picture credit: AP.)
