World Business Report

Available for over a year

“There’s no playground, no place to play football, and no wedding venue anymore. It’s all been washed away,” the words of a hotel owner just south of Wrocław, in Poland, hit by the worst floods in 25 years. Eastern European leaders will be asking for more relief funding from the EU. Also, in today’s tech-focused episode Sam Fenwick will be discussing the United Nations’ call for stronger regulation of artificial intelligence. Plus, a special report on who tech titans might be backing in the US election. And, how have global investors reacted to the big interest rate cut in the United States?
