Peru's new Chinese funded 'megaport'

The South American region is at the centre of a global tug-of-war over trade between China and the US - and one infrastructure project is caught in the middle.

In our second programme looking at the future of the world's ports, we head to the South American country at the centre of a global tug-of-war between China and the US.

One key infrastructure project, in the small Peruvian fishing town of Chancay, is caught in the middle.

We speak to businesses and locals about what's happening.
