Amazon vice-president resigns over firings

A vice-president at Amazon has quit after Amazon fired workers over safety complaints.

A vice-president at Amazon has quit after Amazon fired workers over safety complaints; we get more from Kim Lyons from the Verge website. We take an in-depth look at the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on the global advertising sector - Nigel McDonagh edits four weekly newspapers in Northern Ireland, including the Ulster Herald, and describes the economic impact a lack of adverts is having on the business. Sir Martin Sorrell founded WPP, one of the world's biggest ad agencies, and now runs a smaller digital firm, S4 Capital, and explains how bad the downturn is for the wider industry. And Lucy Jameson, who set up Uncommon Creative Studio, an independent ad agency in London, tells us how the coronavirus has changed the way adverts are actually made. And it's just been announced that the US and UK will formally start trade talks. Plus our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clark considers the positive and negative impacts working from home is having on couples who live together.
