Container shipping costs rise sharply
As a result of the pandemic, the cost of global shipping has risen sharply.
As a result of the pandemic, the cost of global shipping has risen sharply. We speak to Lori Ann LaRocco, author of Trade War: Containers Don't Lie and Nate Herman from the American Apparel and Footwear Association discusses the potential impact on shoppers in the run-up to Christmas. Also in the programme, the 成人快手's Laura Heighton-Ginns examines the growth of fake designer goods, or "dupes", which have become so readily available that they have generated a fashion trend of their own, and are being showcased by social media influencers. Plus, as the outcome of this year's Booker prize for fiction is announced, we ask Claire Armitstead, associate editor for culture at The Guardian, how much of an impact it can have on a winner's career.
