World Business Report

Available for over a year

The latest on the Portuguese Prime Minister, Antonio Costa, who has resigned over allegations of irregularities and corruption in the handling of lithium mining and hydrogen projects in the country. In the US the co-working company, WeWork, has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in America - so what does this mean and how could it affect the future of the company in the US? And as people in China lose their appetite for pork, with prices falling 40%, we look at what this tells us about deflation and the possible impact on the wider economy. (Photo: PM Antonio Costa.
