Merkel Re-elected Amid Nationalist Rise

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Angela Merkel is set to return as Chancellor following the election in Germany. We hear how her government faces pressure to boost investment. An international tribunal rules in favour of Ghana ending a long dispute with Ivory Coast over control of an offshore region rich in oil. And will those at the bottom of the economic ladder one day find robots are doing their jobs? We'll hear a report from Silicon Valley in California, where artificial intelligence is rising.
