World Business Report - Blues on the Danube

We explore the impact of the Danube river running at its lowest level in decades on freight, car production and nuclear reactors in the area.

Elsewhere in a big few days for the media sector, we explore why superheroes are back, the latest on the sale of Electronic Arts and why Netflix is going into short form content.

Also, why one of Europe's most wanted drugs fugitives is living freely and with government protection in west Africa

And how Japan and the US have carried out a rare joint intervention to prop up the Yen
