World Business Report

Available for over a year

Runner-up Raila Odinga has rejected the results of Kenya's presidential election saying that the figures announced on Monday were "null and void". He alleged vote-rigging and accused the electoral chairman of bullying election counters who disagreed with him. Chinese internet giants including Alibaba, ByteDance and Tencent have shared details of their algorithms with China's regulators for the first time. In the US Meta and Alphabet have successfully argued they are trade secrets amid calls for more disclosure. Across Europe a combination of unusual summer heat levels and abnormal storms, have badly affected agricultural production which meteorologists say could become the continent’s worst drought in more than 500 years.
