World Business Report

Available for over a year

Apple has been dealt a major blow in its ongoing trial against Fortnite-maker Epic Games. A court in Oakland, California, has ruled that Apple cannot stop app developers directing users to third-party payment options. Apple had argued that all apps should use Apple's own in-app payment options. Also in the programme, there's a shortage of lorry drivers in the UK. It is having an impact on everything from chicken in restaurants to beer in pubs. We hear from drivers, driving instructors, retailers and the wholesale industry what's causing the shortfall, and what can be done to solve it. Plus, as a face-to-face New York Fashion Week draws to a close for the first time since the start of the pandemic, we find out how the fashion houses are planning for a post-pandemic future from Priya Elan, deputy fashion editor of The Guardian newspaper.
