Israel-Gaza conflict: EU backtracks on Palestinian aid freeze

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The European Union had announced a suspension on funding for Palestine after Hamas attacks. It will now 'review' financial aid to the region. We get the latest from Brussels. We also take a look at the impact the conflict in the Middle East is having in the oil and gas markets. And Claudia Goldin has become the first woman to be awarded the Nobel economics prize on her own. We hear about her contribution to understanding the gender pay gap.
