World Business Report

Available for over a year

TikTok and WeChat face a US install ban on Sunday, unless President Trump approves a deal. The BBC's Zoe Kleinman talks us through the latest moves in a long-running source of tension between Washington and Beijing. Also in the programme, continuing our series looking at key issues ahead of November's US presidential election, the BBC's Justin Rowlatt asks whether environmental issues will have much of an impact on how people choose to cast their vote. Plus, we find out why this year's Indian Premier League cricket season is being played in the United Arab Emirates. (Picture: WeChat and TikTok logos with Chinese and US flags.
