Description

From the BBC World Service: Japan's inflation rate is heating up, hitting its fastest pace in more than two years: 3.5% in April. That could mean higher interest rates for the first time in years. It's a big shift for a country used to falling prices and a major challenge for the government and central bank. Plus: flooding in Australia, a raised retirement age in Denmark and cash use in Sweden.
