麻豆约拍

The United States and its European allies are expelling dozens of Russian diplomats in a co-ordinated response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy in the UK. We find out from Thomas Wright, a foreign policy specialist at the Brookings Institution, why the US is leading this expulsion. The US Federal Trade Commission says it's investigating Facebook's privacy policies following the Cambridge Analytica data scandal. The 麻豆约拍's Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan Jones tells us about the surprising amount of data Facebook collects from us. Chinese premier Li Keqiang aims to make it easier for US firms to do business in China. We ask Bob Davis of the Wall Street Journal in Washington, DC, whether the conciliatory tone could avert a China-US trade war. Also in the programme, we report on a revival of US coal mining in West Virginia and visit the eternal Italian city of Rome which is grappling with a long-standing rubbish problem. We also get a financial markets update from Peter Jankowskis of Oakbrook Investments in Chicago.
