Chinese New Year overshadowed by Coronavirus

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Chinese New Year overshadowed by Coronavirus

The BBC's Andrew Walker considers the potential economic impact of Coronavirus

As more cases of Coronavirus are confirmed in China, the BBC's Andrew Walker considers the potential economic impact of the disease. 
German car parts manufacturer Gedia is the latest in a line of companies hit by ransomware attacks. Bill Goodwin from Computer Weekly explains what's happened. Kai Ryssdal of our partner show Marketplace sits down with Sarah Barnett of cable channel AMC to talk about how to keep up with the new “golden age” of television. As climate migration becomes an ever more relevant topic, an expert on refugee law says a new ruling from the United Nations would mean New Zealand has to accept climate refugees. And as a pop-up male make-up concession arrives in the UK we look at the growing industry of guyliner, manscara and ‘Warpaint’.
