Hello and welcome to World Business Report on the BBC World Service.
Will Bain with you today?
Great as always to have your company as we kick off another week here on the program.
On the program today, just how did a darling of the global energy transition come to be staring down the barrel of bankruptcy?
We'll get expert views shortly on the issues at the Swedish battery maker Northvolt and what, if anything, the future might hold for the firm.
Also on the program today, the Finnish telecoms company at the heart of a suspected sabotage to rival a spy novel answers the question, do we spend enough to protect undersea cables?
What is enough?
As for instance, our cable connecting Finland directly to Germany is about 1200km long.
So in practice there are no means to fully kind of protect that.
Yeah, more from the Finnish firm sign a little bit later on in the program, and plenty more too on English Cricket's efforts to attract international investors to buy out the franchises in its 100 competition.
All that to come on World Business Report.
