After a nail-biting week, the race for the White House draws to a close. But how does it bode for the world鈥檚 biggest economy as it heads into a covid winter?

After a nail-biting week, the Oval Office is within Joe Biden鈥檚 grasp - on this edition of business weekly we鈥檒l ask what this means for US economic policy. We鈥檒l find out why the markets rallied and ask a former climate negotiator what a Biden presidency could mean for the environment. We鈥檒l also hear from the sailors stuck at sea thanks to covid restrictions. There are concerns that that the plight of the 400,000 sailors unable to go ashore and home could become a humanitarian catastrophe. Plus, we take a closer look at the little Ant that grew into a financial giant as Jack Ma鈥檚 financial company is prevented from listing on the stock exchange at the last moment. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
