Japan counts costs of deadly floods

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

With Japan continuing its rescue operations from the devastation caused by Typhoon Hagibis, we talk to Robin Harding, Tokyo bureau chief for the Financial Times about what its like in the city right now. Meanwhile, the US is imposing sanctions on leaders in Turkey, in response to the intensification of hostilities there. We speak to Soner Çağaptay, director of the Turkish Research Programme at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy about whether this will hurt the country's already struggling economy. And, do you swear in the workplace? Do your colleagues? We ask if blue language is ever acceptable in a modern office. (Picture credit: iStock/ Getty Images Plus)
