World Business Report

Available for over a year

Antonio Horta-Osorio has resigned as chairman of Credit Suisse following Covid breaches. The departure comes on the heels of a string of scandals for the beleagured bank, and we get the background from the founder of the Swiss financial news website finews.ch, Claude Bauman. Also in the programme, according the latest official figures, Chinese economic growth is slowing. The Shanghai-based economist Andy Xie brings us the details. There's a growing fuel crisis in Uganda as truck drivers protest over Covid requirements at the border, and we find out more from the BBC's Patience Atuhaire in Kampala. Plus, the BBC's Theo Leggett reports on aviation technologies that might shape the future of flying. Today's edition is presented by Mike Johnson, and produced by Will Bain, Tom Kavanagh and Gabriele Shaw. (Picture: Antonio Horta-Osorio. Picture credit: Reuters.)
