Japanese car giant Nissan has announced 12,500 job cuts as it attempts to shore up its finances after recent troubles.

It will reduce its production capacity and the number of models it produces by 10% by the end of 2022, but it did not say where the cuts will fall.

The firm also announced a 94.5% fall in net income for the first quarter of 2019.

This is one of the one of the carmaker’s worst quarterly performances in a decade.
