The US car giant Ford has unveiled a $300m plan to convert a plant in the UK to make electrical components. Plus, after a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ investigation about online hatred against women, we hear from former Scottish politician Ruth Davidson and Love Island’s Kaz Kamwi about their experiences – and why tech companies aren’t doing as much as they could. And finally, Apple’s latest slew of products have proven to be lacklustre for some – the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s James Clayton at the latest tech giant launch tells us why. We discuss all this with live guests Peter Morici, Professor Emeritus of International Business at the R.H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, and in Hong Kong, Shuli Ren, Bloomberg Opinion columnist.
Presented by Jamie Robertson, and produced by Gareth Barlow.
