World Business Report

Available for over a year

As politicians and business people digest the details of the post-Brexit UK trade deal with the EU, we speak to Simon Boyd, managing director of structural engineering company, Reidsteel. A group of two hundred British holidaymakers have fled the Swiss ski resort of Verbier having been placed under quarantine in their hotels to contain spread of the new strain of coronavirus currently sweeping through the UK; we hear from Jordan Davis, a journalist with the Swiss Public Broadcaster RTS, in Geneva. How will you remember this year? The BBC’s Nisha Patel has meets cartoonist Vic Lee, who's chronicled 2020 in pictures. And whilst much of the film industry has been struggling, in Japan, Demon Slayer, released in October has become the country's highest-grossing movie ever; Dorothy Finan from the School of East Asian Studies at the University of Sheffield tells us why it's been so popular.
