US inflation hits three-year high

from World Business Report Hosted by BBC World Service

Gideon Long dives into the latest US inflation figures after prices rose at their fastest pace in three years. We hear from American business owners on the front line of rising costs. We also turn to China, where inflation remains far lower than in the United States, and examine what the latest figures reveal about the strength of the world's second-largest economy. And with the FIFA World Cup approaching North America, how are businesses preparing for the economic opportunities the tournament could bring?
