Drought-hit Panama canal shipping rout restrictions extended

The Panama Canal has extended restrictions on vessels, as it battles an on-going drought.

We will look at the Panama Canal which has extended restrictions on vessels, as it battles an on-going drought. It’s also limited the amount cargo ships can carry. 

Burger King says it has removed tomatoes from its food in Indian outlets after a sharp rise in prices. Monsoon rains in July disrupted crops and supply chains. Today, supply has returned but prices have remained high. 

And Google has announced plans to train 20,000 Nigerian women and young people in digital skills to support government targets of creating one million tech jobs.
