We look back at the main business stories of the year.

A trade war between the US and China, corruption in Malaysia, tackling climate change and the rise of K-pop were all in the headlines this year.

Also in the programme, a special report from Cyprus, where the banking system collapsed five years ago. We'll find out how Russian investors have remained a big part of the country's financial system.

Plus, how phone apps have shaken up the dating scene in India.
