Price rises slow in the US

New figures show that inflation in the US – the world’s largest economy – is on the way down. The latest figures showed a slight fall to 6.5%, down from 7.5% the previous month. But will it be enough to stave off further interest rate hikes?

Also on the programme, how to love where you work: new figures show an interesting shift in employee satisfaction at some of the world's best-known firms.
