welcome to world business report, i m mark lobel. we start here in the uk where the business lobby group, the cbi, is facing a second allegation of rape by a woman, who claims she was sexually assaulted by two male colleagues. the guardian newspaper reports, the alleged attack took place when the woman was working at one of the cbi s overseas offices. the city of london police is already investigating claims of a rape, at a cbi summer party in 2019. let s go through the latest developments with our correspondent marc ashdown who joins us now. we are getting a growing list of business organisations who are cutting ties with the cbi or pausing, they have around 190,000 businesses who are members and the insurance giants aviva and zurich were the first to do that. the likes of asda, shell, natwest, they have pause relations, and john lewis has terminated its membership as well. these follow fresh allegations today with a second woman claiming she was raped when working for cbi
