Zimbabwe Election: Inauguration Delayed

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Following an opposition legal challenge, the swearing in of Emmerson Mnangagwa as president has been postponed. Will the US be persuaded that democracy there is solid enough to lift its tough sanctions? Our reporter Shingai Nyoka has an update from Harare. As Turkey's currency falls, President Trump has doubled metal tariffs on the country. We ask Soner Cagaptay, director of the Turkish Research Program at The Washington Institute, how damaging this is to the Turkish economy. We look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with John Detrixhe of Quartz, and Jessica Dye of the Financial Times. Plus, why the opening of the shooting season on Britain's moorlands is missing a day, and a lot of birds. (Picture: Emmerson Mnangagwa casts his ballot in Zimbabwe's 2018 general election.
