Eleven EU countries have joined the US in recognising opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president
Eleven EU countries have joined the US in recognising opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president. Journalist Laura Weffer from the independent news website Efecto Cocuyo gives her view of the latest developments. Also, the boss of a cryptocurrency exchange has died. Apparently he was the only one who could access nearly $200-million dollars in customers' funds. So what now? Plus, our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clark asks whether workplace staff surveys are an essential tool for employee engagement, or a painful ritual that leaves people cold. The communication platform Slack is seeking over $10 billion dollars in a valuation for its public listing. We ask Jim Edwards from Business Insider if the company is worth it. And a beer advertisement during the Superbowl, which used ASMR techniques including whispering, left some people feeling tingly. Scaachi Koul from BuzzFeed News in New York tells us what autonomous sensory meridian response is and how some people find it relaxing.
