World Business Report

Available for over a year

Domestic flights across the US were grounded for several hours after the system that alerts pilots to potential hazards went down. We hear from those trying to travel, and find out what the repercussions will be. The Egyptian pound has plunged more than 13% against the US dollar, as the nation struggles with its worst foreign-currency squeeze in years. We find out what's behind it and how it's affecting business. And we find out what to expect from Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida's, tour of the G7 countries.
