South Korea said the ship had transferred 600 tonnes of oil to a North Korean vessel. There are suggestions, denied by the Chinese, that China was responsible for the shipment. We find out more from China expert Gordon Chang. Also in the programme, Apple has apologised to customers after admitting last week that its software updates had deliberately slowed down older iPhone models. We get analysis from Luke Dormehl who wrote 'The Apple Revolution'. We hear from Nairobi why Kenya has banned the sale, production and use of the shisha pipe. Our reporter explains why the defunct bank brand Lehman Brothers has been resurrected as a whisky. Plus we look back at the year's big business stories with Nina Trentmann of the Wall Street Journal, and Justin Fox from Bloomberg.
