In this episode: In Australia, new data centres are growing fast, and people ask what they cost. One woman hears the humming near her home, and the country already has 162 data centres with 90. Also: The Japanese yen jumps more than 2% as people think the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates. Markets watch the yen, the dollar, and a 77% chance of a rate rise.

Today’s English focus: was set to raise = was going to raise = was going to raise. Vocabulary: humming (a low, steady sound), on the way (coming soon), investors (people who put money into a project).
