World Business Report

Available for over a year

Kenya's supreme court will hear a petition to have Thursday's election postponed. Mohammed Hersi is chair of the Kenya Tourism Federation, and tells us what impact the election uncertainty is having on the country's tourism sector. Also in the programme, as more allegations surface about movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, we ask London-based employment lawyer Gillian Howard what stops women coming forward sooner when it comes to bad behaviour in the workplace. German researchers are warning that ocean acidification could have a significant impact on marine life. Andrew Simms of the New Weather Institute explains the background. Plus we have a report from the Macedonian capital Skopje on why an urban renewal project there is causing controversy. (Picture: Kenya's opposition leader Raila Odinga speaks to supporters.
