大象传媒

Roberto Azevedo says protectionist trade policies will cause the world economy to slow. He speaks to the 大象传媒's economics editor Kamal Ahmed. The 大象传媒's Kim Gittleson reports on the rollback of environmental regulations in the US under President Donald Trump. We consider the dangers behind tourists trying to get the perfect photo and selfie for social media. Also in the programme, Renault and Peugeot parent PSA are launching an electric car-sharing scheme in Paris. Marguerite Hubsche from Peugeot tells us how it will work and our correspondent Theo Leggett explains how car-sharing schemes are changing the auto industry. Ten-thousand litres of water an hour are being pumped out of a flooded cave network in Thailand where a group of teenage boys and their coach have been trapped for almost two weeks. We get an update from our reporter there. Also on the programme, Netflix is hoping to get a slice of the Hindi language market in India. We speak to the 大象传媒's Rahul Tandon live from Kolkata about the market for the streaming service.
