About this episode

The episode discusses the financial implications of the football transfer window closing, rising borrowing costs in Japan, and the potential effects of new school uniform regulations on the high street.

As the football transfer window in England and Wales closes, Leanna Byrne looks at the billions of pounds spent. Japanese long-term borrowing costs hit a 30-year high amid a global bond sell-off. And we look at what new rules on school uniform could mean for the high street.
