49 分钟Hello and welcome to Business Matters, I'm Roger Herring.
On the programme today, a crisis of confidence for those shipping goods around the world.
A new survey suggests a record number, a record level of concern among shippers.
We'll have the details on that.
Also as the US pursues trade deals with major players,
we'll find out what's happening in the talks with Japan.
Also, why is it that cassava, a major food source across the world,
doesn't make more money for Nigeria, which grows it in profusion?
Prada acknowledges its latest footwear is actually something Indian artisans have been making for many centuries.
And while the US comms giant AT&T gets into trouble with President Trump when a conference call doesn't go quite as planned,
we'll have a look at what happens with those sort of communications nightmares.
and I'll be joined throughout the program by two guests on opposite sides of the world Peter Marisi,
economist and professor of business at the University of Maryland who's joining us from Alexandria,
Virginia.
Peter, a very good evening to you.
Good evening, nice to be with you again.
Good to have you back with us.
And actually not that far away from you Peter, well I'm certainly in the same continent.
Jennifer Pack, China correspondent at Marketplace, usually based in Shanghai,
but in fact joining us today from Calgary in Canada.
