New Analysis on Russia and US Election
New analysis emerges of Russia's reported involvement in the 2016 US elections
New analysis emerges of Russia's reported involvement in the 2016 US elections. The new report suggests Russia’s interference started years earlier and that it used every major social media platform. We also hear why the World Economic Forum thinks it'll take 202 years to close the gender gap in the workplace. The collective response of the European Union to the question of taxing the world's mega tech firms has been delayed, so France has decided to go it alone - hoping to raise as much as half a billion dollars by declaring its own tech tax. But Ben Parr of Octane AI in San Francisco explains to us that it might be a case of easier said than done. We discuss all this with guests Diane Brady, formerly of Bloomberg BusinessWeek and the Wall Street Journal, now a media entrepreneur, who joins from New York, and Simon Littlewood, President at the Asia Now Consulting Group from Singapore.
