The slow death of Covid travel restrictions

Available for over a year

The travel industry continues its path to normality with Japan reopening its doors to international travellers after two years and the US dropping Covid-19 test requirements for airline passengers. We hear more from Yukari Sakamoto, who takes tourists on tours of food markets in Tokyo. Inflation in the US rose to 8.6% in May, the highest rate since 1981. Food and energy prices led the rally with double-digit rises, but increases continue to spread throughout the economy. We talk to a consumer and a business owner in different parts of the country about how they are being affected by soaring prices. We hear from former US ambassador Norman Eisen about the congressional committee investigating the attacks on the US Capitol in 2021. It could lead to prosecutions and new laws to strengthen election security. Plus, young people who've made a million before they were 30 explain how they did it as part of our Business Daily series Million By 30.
