Former FTX boss Sam Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty to fraud and other crimes. Devina Gupta speaks to BBC North America business correspondent, Michelle Fleury, who is in New York reporting on the case. What affect will the China travel restrictions have on the economies of the countries that are implementing them? And the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could become the first country to disappear due to climate change. Now the government says it will rebuild the islands in the metaverse – the digital world created by Facebook owner, Mark Zuckerberg – to preserve their culture and heritage.
