Shinzo Abe Secures Resounding Victory in Japanese Election

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Shinzo Abe Secures Resounding Victory in Japanese Election

Prime minister's coalition on course to retain two-thirds "super majority" in parliament.

Shinzo Abe is on course to become Japan's longest serving prime minister. While taxes, spending, reforms and money printing were high on the agenda, we examine why this election was about more than Abenomics. We also hear why Tesla is pushing ahead with plans to start manufacturing its luxury sports cars in China. In Indonesia, trade in wild birds is threatening to drive many species to extinction. We head to the forests of Java, where there are efforts to prevent dozens of species of songbirds from being lost.
