World Business Report

Available for over a year

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, announced they've reached a deal to revise post-Brexit trading arrangements in Northern Ireland. Mr Sunak says today's agreement marks a "new chapter" in the UK's relationship with the EU. We hear from business owners and economists about what the news means for the future of the economy in Northern Ireland. We get the latest on the story of Bao Fan, the missing Billionaire technology dealmaker in China. His employer now say he's cooperating with Chinese authorities conducting an investigation. And as the World Bank and the Kenyan Ministry of Energy meet to discuss a road map for African governments looking to tap solar electricity, we hear from the BBC Africa Business Editor about how it will be mapped out.
