Total solar eclipse boosts tourism

About this episode

As parts of Europe head for a "once-in-a-lifetime" total solar eclipse, we hear from one region in Iceland on how they are seeing a boost in tourism in a year when they have seen a decline in tourists from the US.

Elsewhere, as the heat and droughts affecting Europe continue to hit the Rhine River, we get the impact on the German economy.

Also, Nvidia raises $500bn for AI data centres for some of the world's biggest banks and investment firms, and we find how much the AI revolution will cost.

And as hybrid working leaves more offices underused, could converting offices into homes help tackle housing shortages and revive business districts?
