US Election: The end of a nailbiting week

Business Weekly

Available for over a year

The Oval Office is within Joe Biden’s grasp - on this edition of Business Weekly we ask what this means for US economic policy. We find out why the markets rallied and ask a former climate negotiator what a Biden presidency could mean for the environment. We’ll also hear from the sailors stuck on the ocean thanks to covid but desperate to reach home. There are concerns that the plight of the 400,000 sailors unable to reach shore could become a humanitarian catastrophe. And we take a closer look at the little Ant that grew into a financial giant as Jack Ma’s financial company is prevented from listing on the stock exchange at the last moment. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
