The US government is investigating Nike over claims that the footwear giant discriminated against white workers.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces workplace discrimination laws, has asked for the company records going back to 2018.
In a statement, Nike said it was committed to fair and lawful employment practices and called the inquiry a surprising and unusual escalation.
The European Central Bank and the Bank of England both held their interest rates.
Emma Wall is still with me.
Expected, Emma?
Very much expected, although for different reasons, both linked to inflation.
So in Europe the ECB has done a really good job of getting inflation under control and indeed under target.
And so the ECB holding rates where they are is really just a recognition of the fact that they've probably reached what we call neutral rate, ie where you want rates to be, all else being fine.
I think it would take quite considerable change in economic data to get the ECB to change rates from here.
On the flip side, the Bank of England actually voted to hold rates because inflation remains stubbornly high.
So they're therefore using higher rates as a mechanism to help control inflation, which is still quite far above the two percent target.
What's interesting with the bank of england however, is the vote split, so you've had nine members of the monetary policy committee.
Five of them voted for hold, but four of them voted to cut, which could have some indication of what we could expect later in the year Interesting.
A knife-edge decision, some said, and actually something just flashed across my screen saying Andrew Bailey spoke to the BBC saying interest rates should see some further reduction but will not fall back to historically low levels.
Emma Wall, it's been a pleasure.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Now it's only nine days till Valentine's Day and you might be thinking what should I get my special someone?
Well, if you're in Kenya, there's one thing you can't get them.
The country's central bank has banned people from using banknotes to make floral-like bouquets and decorations, which has become a big trend.
Here's some people on the streets of Nairobi telling us what they think of the ban.
Maybe this was the opportunity for us to get it on Valentine's, but now the opportunity is gone.
What are we supposed to do?
If it's a smelting that comes from the central bank, it's a big bank.
So to me they have their own reason and if their reason is valid, I support it.
Disappointed because I would have loved to get one of those big ones.
Now to make these cash bouquets notes of different colours and value are rolled and fastened together to make them look like flowers.
But the Central Bank of Kenya says creators are defacing the currency.
Angela co-owns a gifts and flowers shop and she says her money bouquets are one of her most popular orders.
For the money bouquets, we used to get around 15 to 20 thereabouts.
And it depends.
You can get a bouquet worth 1000 bob broken down into 50 notes, 10000 broken down into 500, 200 notes and 1000 notes.
It's a week or two actually before Valentine's.
So this allows and gives us time to actually come up with ideas on how we can actually do these bouquets.
That was Angela, a co-owner of a gifts and flowers shop in Nairobi.
Listen, in the UK, I don't think it's banned.
So if anyone wants to get one from me, I'm going to accept it.
And that is it from World Business Express from the BBC World Service.
I'm Leanna Byrne.
Thanks for listening.
