The EU has fined Google €4.3bn over its Android mobile phone operating system. Massimiliano Trovato of the Istituto Bruno Leoni free market think tank in Milan explains why he's concerned about the ruling's implications, and we get reaction from Shivaun Raff of Foundem, whose complaint over Google's shopping comparison service, led to a multi-billion dollar fine from the EU. Also in the programme, our reporter explains growing concerns that children are engaging in a form of gambling through the world of online gaming. Scheduled passenger flights between Ethiopia and Eritrea have resumed for the first time in 20 years, after the cessation of hostilities between the countries last week. Kubrom Dafla is a former Eritrean Airlines chief executive, and gives us his perspective. And we consider the economic effects of improving political relations with Ahmed Soleman, Horn of Africa specialist from the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Plus we have a report on how online streaming is transforming the music industry.
