European football clubs plan breakaway Super League

We examine the business case behind the creation of a new football European Super League.

We examine the business case behind the creation of a new football European Super League. Guillem Balague is a Spanish football journalist, and tells us why a dozen clubs from England, Spain and Italy are running the risk of upsetting their fans with this new venture. Also in the programme, two people have died in Texas after a Tesla electric car crashed with what police believe was nobody at the wheel. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Theo Leggett discusses the controversy around what the carmaker likes to call Autopilot, but in fact requires someone to be fully alert in the driving seat at all times. Plus, we ask whether the future of work after the pandemic is likely to stay largely remote for a significant proportion of workers. Brynn Harrington who oversees Facebook's remote working strategy explains why the social network is leaving open the option for its employees to work from home. Nick Bloom is an economics professor at Stanford University who expresses concern that permanent remote working could impact people's chances of getting promoted. And Tushar Agarwal, founder of co-working space Hubble makes the case for greater flexibility in how people work in the future.
