Angela Merkel bids farewell after 16 years - we ask what the Scholz era will bring

As Germany’s new chancellor takes office, how will Olaf Scholz’s new coalition government approach its numerous challenges?

On this edition of Business Weekly, we go to Germany to see how the change in leadership from Angela Merkel to Olaf Scholz may impact the direction of the country, both domestically and on the European and world stage. We also hear how Ukrainians are faring economically as relations with Russia continue to sour. Plus we look at the business of private adoptions in the United States and hear how much money can change hands when a child is welcomed into a new home. Business Weekly is presented by Sasha Twining and produced by Matthew Davies.
