World Business ReportAvailable for over a year
We take a look at some of the costs that will come from the accident, like the reconstruction of the bridge and compensation for the victim's relatives -and who will likely have to pay for them. The Swedish fashion brand H&M has said it had to delay its spring collection due to the disruption caused by the Red Sea crisis. We take a look at the details. Africa's debt has increased sharply in recent years. Now, delegates have gathered at a conference in Accra, Ghana, to find solutions. We talk to one of them. And a Chinese company has bought access to the technology developed by a Slovakian firm to build a flying car. We get the latest from our correspondent.
