World Business Report

Available for over a year

Millions of computers could be vulnerable due to a major security flaw in its processors. Also in the programme, we hear about the impact of sweeping new European financial regulations known as MiFID II, from George Godber, who is a fund manager at Polar Capital. We go to Norway, where more than half of all new cars sold in the country last year were electric or hybrid. Our regular economic commentator Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute considers whether US president Donald Trump is likely to take a tougher line on Chinese trade this year. Plus we visit a speed-dating event that aims to help mothers returning to work find potential new employers. (Picture: An Intel logo on a box. Credit: Reuters)
