World Business Report

Available for over a year

The euro has edged lower as negotiations begin to form Germany's next government. The BBC's Rob Young reports from Berlin on the economic implications of Angela Merkel's victory. Also in the programme, Uber's new boss has apologised for mistakes the taxi hailing firm has made, after the company lost its licence to operate in London. James Farrah is an Uber driver who offers us his perspective. Plus, consumer goods giant Unilever has bought a stake in South Korean cosmetics firm K-Beauty. We find out why from beauty expert Katherine Spowart, who writes the blog 'A Skinful of Seoul'. (Picture: Angela Merkel. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
