The 大象传媒's Rahul Tandon reports on a power supply crisis in India, where more than 60% of the country's coal-fired power stations are suffering from fuel shortages.

The shipping industry group BIMCO's chief shipping analyst Peter Sand gives us his assessment of how best to tackle the problem. The crisis in global supply chains has been pre-occupying finance ministers at a global meeting in Washington DC. The 大象传媒's The crisis in global supply chains is one of the big issues that's been pre-occupying finance ministers at a global meeting in Washington D.
