Major breakthrough in nuclear fusion energy announced

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Major breakthrough in nuclear fusion energy announced

US scientists have announced a breakthrough in the race to recreate nuclear fusion.

Physicists have pursued the technology for decades as it promises a potential source of near-limitless clean energy. They say there is still some way to go before fusion powers homes.

As China eases covid restrictions we discuss plans by U-S vaccine maker Moderna to enter the Chinese market.

We find out if any of the investors in the crypto exchange FTX will get their money back.

And what sort of money will Morocco make after its sucess in the World Cup.

Sam Fenwick discusses these and more business news throughout the programme with two guests on opposite sides of the world: Frank Tsai Editor of the Shanghai Review in China and Shannon Najmabadi a reporter at the Colorado Sun in the United States.
