BBC World Service - World Business Report, US inflation at 7.5%

Prices are rising at a rate of 7.5% a year

With inflation rising faster than expected, we hear from the BBC's North America Business correspondent Michelle Fleury and economist Cary Leahey. Plus, blockades across some of the busiest border crossings between Canada and the United States are disrupting supply chains of America's biggest car companies. We hear from Peter Campbell, Global Motor Industry Correspondent at the Financial Times. And Tesla is being sued for alleged racial discrimination and harassment by a California regulator which claims the electric carmaker operates "a racially segregated workplace". Dana Hull automotive and technology reporter for Bloomberg tells us about the allegations. The International Court of Justice in the Hague has ordered Uganda to pay the Democratic Republic of the Congo more than $300m in compensation for invading and occupying the mineral-rich Ituri province between 1998 and 2003. But as the BBC's Robert Misigaro explains, it's not clear whether the compensation will be forthcoming. Plus, the BBC's Ivana Davidovic reports on why the use of robots has risen by 40% in North American workplaces since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
