World Business Report

Available for over a year

The Nobel Prize winning economist Sir Christopher Pissarides joins us to discuss The Bank of England’s emergency intervention in the bond market, after days of uncertainty in the markets. We'll get the latest on where the pound and UK borrowing rates are with Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. There's suspicion of Russian involvement in damage to the Nord Stream gas pipelines - Melinda Haring, Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasian Center explains what this means, and what could happen next. We're also joined by Armand Arton, founder and chair of Canada's Global Citizen Forum, to discuss the potential escape routes for Russian refugees, as thousands try and flee the country following President Putin's partial mobilisation. And we hear from Shay Segev, Chief Executive of DAZN Group, one of Europe's biggest sport-video streaming companies, as it expands its portfolio further.
