Anti-virus software entrepreneur John McAfee has been found dead in a Barcelona prison cell hours after a Spanish court agreed to extradite him to the US to face tax evasion charges. We speak to Steve Morgan the Editor-in-Chief at Cybercrime Magazine who knew him well. Also in the programme, Wall Street bank Morgan Stanley's staff will be barred from entry unless Covid vaccinated. Geneva-based international trade lawyer Arthur Appleton considers the legal implications of the move. Meanwhile, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Elizabeth Hotson reports on the potential pitfalls involved when communicating for work with people from different cultures. Plus, on International Women in Engineering Day, we meet Susana Brooks, who is an engineer at Britain's energy supply network National Grid, working on how to adapt power networks for a low carbon future. Crain’s Chicago Business editor Ann Dwyer and Simon Littlewood of ACG Global in Singapore join us with their commentary throughout the show.
