Lift off for SpaceX?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Lift-off for Elon Musk's tech company, SpaceX, as it reports its first results since going public. We examine what the company is worth and hear investors' reaction. Also, we look at Spotify's latest user numbers and explore whether the music streaming giant could be running out of new listeners. Elsewhere, we hear from tech workers in Gaza, ten months after the US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. And, how Europe has spent the summer trying to buy its way out of the heat.
