World Business Report

Available for over a year

House Democrats are preparing articles to accuse President Trump of 'inciting insurrection' as they attempt a second impeachment process as the clean-up continues at Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, the President takes to twitter to announce he's shunning Joe Biden's inauguration. We hear from the BBC's Michelle Fleury, Marketplace's Kai Ryssdal and Chris Low from FHN Financial.Also in the programme, we have a report from the BBC's Thomas Naadi in Accra on Ghana's economic situation, as clashes between lawmakers broke out ahead of the swearing in of President Nana Akufo-Addo for a second term in office. Plus, Elon Musk, the space pioneer and electric car guru, now ranks as the world's richest person, thanks to a surge in the value of shares in his company Tesla. In an interview from 2014, we hear what drove him to take on some of the world's most technologically challenging projects, and how he feels about the wealth he's accumulated over the years.
