The crippling cost of life in Zimbabwe

BBC World Service - World Business Report, The crippling cost of life in Zimbabwe

Electricity cuts, water rationing and spiralling consumer prices

Electricity cuts, water rationing and prices that are spiralling so high that nearly a third of the population can't get enough food.  We investigate Zimbabwe's immense economic problems, hearing from inside the country and from those elsewhere who are keen to return but can't face it. Plus the new payment card from Apple that can get easily damaged if you keep it in your jeans. And fears that Britain's $30bn horticulture industry could be at risk from a changing climate.
