BBC World Service - World Business Report, Efforts to unblock the Suez Canal continue

Attempts are being made to free a grounded ship which is blocking the Suez Canal

Efforts to refloat a grounded ship blocking the Suez Canal continue; with hundreds of vessels waiting to use the waterway, Madhav Durbha, vice president of supply chain strategy at Coupa, takes us through the financial implications of the incident.  The European Union will hold a conference this week to consider funding economic recovery in Syria, but can Brussels compromise on the influence of Russia and Iran? We speak to Natasha Hall at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC.  And Rachel Beckett, the country manager for Farm Africa in Uganda describes efforts to encourage the employment of more women across Uganda's coffee industry.
