He's being questioned by police over the matter, and Tomasz Michalski, professor of international economics at HEC International Business School in Paris tells us what is known about the investigation. Also in the programme, with Facebook under growing pressure following revelations of a possible data breach around the US election, Rik Ferguson, vice-president of security research at Trend Micro tells us what can be done to regulate the collection of personal data by social media companies. The 大象传媒's business editor Simon Jack explains how businesses in the UK are preparing for Brexit. Amid concern about dwindling bee populations, we have a report exploring what can be done to protect Europe's bees.
