BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

South Korea has ordered Volkswagen A.G. to recall 125,522 cars after it found that the automaker intentionally manipulated a diesel emissions device in vehicles with an older engine, reported Reuters.

South Korea's environment ministry said that it has also imposed a fine of 14.1 billion South Korean won ($12.3 million) on the automaker's South Korean unit Volkswagen Korea. The ministry said that the recall covers Euro 5 engine vehicles with 2,000cc and 1,600cc diesel "EA189" engines, particularly sold in South Korea between 2008 and 2015.
