Irma Will Be 'Devastating' to US

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Hurricane Irma continues to wreak havoc as it spins across the northern Caribbean. We find out what preparations are being made for the storm in Florida from Philip Stoddard, mayor of South Miami. And we hear from Dr Swenja Surminski, expert on disaster risk reduction at the London School of Economics. Also in the programme, we find out about carmaker Jaguar Land Rover's plan to electrify its model range by 2020. Plus we look back at all the week's big business stories with Matt Campbell from Bloomberg, and Jamie Heller of the Wall Street Journal. (Picture: Damage caused by Hurricane Irma on St Martin.
