World Business Report

Available for over a year

A court grants a temporary injunction against the carmaker's 'Gigafactory' near Berlin. What does this mean for Tesla's growth in Europe? We speak to Tim Higgins, auto and tech reporter at the Wall Street Journal who is writing a book about the company. Brexit is threatening hundreds of jobs in the UK's financial services sector. But two Japanese banks have bucked the trend and gone on a recruitment drive in London. Ben Harris works for recruitment firm Morgan McKinley and tells us what's behind it.
