Dow Jones hits record high

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As the Dow Jones hits a record high Rahul Tandon looks at how a strong stock market is helping some people retire earlier than expected. Two months after a container ship crash saw the collapse of a road bridge in Baltimore, killing six workers, we explore the reasons why 21 seamen are still stranded on the vessel. And on the day that Singapore Airlines announces staff bonuses worth nearly eight months' salary we examine how they came to receive such a generous payout.
