World Business Express

Available for over a year

Hackers steal around $6.3 billion from Binance in what could be the biggest cryptocurrency heist in history. We examine how the attack happened and what it means for the crypto industry. Also, France's economy unexpectedly shrinks as inflation rises, despite stronger growth across the wider Eurozone. And nearly two years after the fall of Syria's Assad regime, rising living costs spark protests as the country struggles to rebuild its economy. Presenter: Leanna Byrne Producer: Bisi Adebayo
