World Business Report

Available for over a year

Law and Justice leader Mateusz Morawiecki fired a number of ministers in the wake of EU legal action. The EU has said judicial reforms threaten the rule of law in the country. The BBC's Mark Easton reports. Also in the programme, as the Consumer Electronics Show gets under way in Las Vegas, our reporter tells us what is catching people's attention. We hear about the hopes for 2018 for India's economy, and get reaction from our regular economic commentator, Roger Bootle of Capital Economics. We have a report from Mozambique about the spread of a disease that is threatening the world's most commonly sold type of banana. Plus we find out why Italy's rollout of a new law to minimise plastic bag usage has not gone smoothly. (Picture: Poland's new rightwing Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki gives a speech on January 9.
