Hillary Clinton Gives Huge Jobs Promise

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Hillary Clinton pledges to create millions of jobs, invest heavily in US infrastructure and go after Wall Street if elected president. The Democratic Party's nominee also promised a vastly different immigration policy to that of Republican rival Donald Trump. We ask what a Clinton economy might look like. The UK government unexpectedly puts the brakes on one of the world's most expensive infrastructure projects - a new nuclear plant at Hinkley Point in the south-west of England. Do the changing economics of nuclear mean the project is in jeopardy? Plus, banks across Europe have been getting a health check - we find out why there are growing concerns about some Italian institutions in particular.
