Show notes

There've now been more than two-thousand flight delays or cancellations in the US linked to the continuing government shutdown. International routes aren't being affected, but many air traffic controllers who've gone unpaid are calling in sick or taking other jobs. Jamaica is set to receive a $150 million payout from its catastrophe bond after Hurricane Melissa. It's the first time it’s been triggered in full. The World Bank tells the BBC it’s a vital boost to the country’s recovery. Andrew Peach also examines Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar pay award after Tesla shareholders back a record-breaking deal that could make the world’s richest man even richer. We hear from one investor who voted against it.
