Shipping wars in the Gulf

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Greece is accusing Iran of piracy after the seizure of two Greek-flagged ships in the Gulf. It follows the seizure of a Russian ship, carrying 700 thousand tonnes of oil, off the Greek coast. The World Economic Forum in Davos has drawn to a close, but some economists think more questions have been raised than answered. And musician Justin Timberlake has earned himself a cool $100 million as he becomes the latest to sell his entire back catalogue of recordings. (Picture: Cargo being loaded onto a vessel in Iran.
