World Business Report

Available for over a year

Today we lead with a warning from the head of World Trade Organisation Ngozi Okonja-Iweala about the perils of trade protectionism. Plus, we find out why social media has dubbed French President Emmanual Macron’s visit to Brazil as a honeymoon than a diplomatic summit. Also, we look at how local businesses in Jerusalem have been impacted by a decline in tourism and finally, we learn about the pros and cons of daylight saving, as Europe prepares to put its clocks forward.
