'It's scary': Life on board a cargo ship in the Red Sea

World Business Report

Available for over a year

As the global shipping giant Maersk suspends its Red Sea routes, we bring you a different perspective - that of a ship's Captain, navigating through increasingly dangerous waters. Plus, why after years of stagnation, and deflation, Japan's economy is booming back to highs not seen since the '80s. And how one phone maker is tackling the language barrier via AI.
