Germany's economic future

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We take stock of the German economy on the day Angela Merkel marks 14 years as Chancellor. Stefanie Bolzen is London correspondent of German daily Die Welt, and tells us that economic confidence is declining in Germany. And we talk to a group of teenage students from Hamburg about their hopes and fears for the years ahead. Also in the programme, the US Federal Communications Commission designated the two Chinese companies a national security risk. The regulator proposed that US communications networks rip out equipment made by Huawei and ZTE. Plus, Frozen 2 is out today - but how good is it? Are sequels only designed to make money from a popular format? (Picture: The Brandenburg Gate. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
