World Business Report

Available for over a year

President-elect Donald Trump has detailed measures to avoid conflicts of interest. Peter Morici of the University of Maryland assesses the proposals. Meanwhile Mr Trump's pick for Secretary of State, former Exxon Mobil boss Rex Tillerson, has been facing tough questions at his US Senate confirmation hearing. We discuss the appointment with Naomi Oreskes of Harvard University and Bennett Freeman, former US deputy assistant secretary for human rights. Also in the programme, Norway is the first country in the world to start switching off its FM radio network. We find out why from the chief executive of Digital Radio Norway, Ole Jørgen Torvmark, and have analysis from Rob Manyion of Practical Wireless magazine. Plus the BBC's Alex Ritson reports on efforts undertaken by businesses to keep their computer systems safe from hackers. (Picture: Donald Trump. Picture credit: AP.)
