First in this edition of The World Business Report - we look into how Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's release from custody in Iran is linked to the payment of a debt owed by the UK from the 70's. Rowena Abdul-Razak, DPhil in Oriental Studies at the University of Oxford takes up the story.

Then we take a look at the tragic China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 passenger plane crash in southern China. We asked our Business Correspondent Theo Leggat what was known about this crash.

Next, our regular US markets guest Peter Jankowskis of Arbor Financial talked us through what worried investors about Boeing's stock.

Lastly, we spoke to David Laborde, Senior Research Fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute, and asked him first about what is happening in Egypt. He also gave us a deeper look into the importance of wheat.
