As business weighs the cost of investing in Myanmar, Japan's Kirin brewery has terminated a joint-venture partnership with Myanma Economic Holdings Limited. We get the perspective of Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK, which promotes human rights in the country. And Vasuki Shastry, associate fellow of the Asia-Pacific programme at the research group Chatham House, tells us what wider impact the move is likely to have. Also in the programme, as Chinese video sharing app Kuaishou almost trebled in value on its first day trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Friday, the 大象传媒's Katie Silver explains what's behind the popularity of the platform. Also in China, so-called 'super apps' are growing in popularity, whereby one app does the job of hundreds, and can help you organise almost every aspect of your life. The 大象传媒's Karishma Vaswani brings us the details. Plus we look ahead to this weekend's Super Bowl in the US, which attracts a combined audience of over 100 million viewers and is one of the biggest moments in the advertising calendar. But we find out why this year, some big name brands have opted out of the spectacle.
