North Korea: Still Trading

Business Daily

Available for over a year

As tensions rise over North Korea's missile tests, we ask how the country, under heavy sanctions, is still trading. North Korea watcher David Thompson from the Washington think tank C4ASD provides some of the answers. Meanwhile in Brazil Daniel Gallas reports on a huge scandal hitting the national beef industry. And if you found your partner was having an affair, how would you deal with it? Ed Butler speaks to New Yorker staff writer Jiayang Fan about the curious Chinese industry of 'mistress dispelling'.
