World Business Report

Available for over a year

Can the fourth largest global oil and gas exporter really pioneer tackling climate change? Nigel Cassidy examines if voters agree with this claim from current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as Canadians go to the polls next Monday. We hear from economist and climate activist, Naomi Klein and Anastasia Kogan, who lives in the mountainous region of British Colombia. Meanwhile, Jatinder Sidhu reports on the political temperature in Vancouver. As a Brexit breakthrough moves markets, we get the detail on today's deal from Jennifer Baker, EU policy correspondent who's based in Brussels, and ask what's next for Boris Johnson's agreement. Plus, as Australia's economy falters, Phil Mercer meets some schoolchildren who are taking lessons in how to build a business.
