World Business Report

Available for over a year

Leaders of the world's largest economies have been discussing trade and climate change. The BBC's Amir Paivar is at the summit in Hamburg, Germany, and brings us all the latest developments. Also in the programme, the public relations firm Bell Pottinger has apologised for inappropriate slogans it used in a campaign in South Africa. Pauli Van Whyke is a reporter at the Daily Maverick in Johannesburg, and explains the background. The BBC's Edwin Lane reports from Japan on a dramatic rise in the share of crimes committed by the elderly. Plus we look back at the week's big business stories with Riva Gold of the Wall Street Journal, and Hal Hodson of The Economist. (Picture: The leaders of the G20. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
