大象传媒

Social media services Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram appear to be recovering after an outage that lasted almost six hours. All three services are owned by Facebook and could not be accessed over the web or on smartphone apps; we get details from the 大象传媒's James Clayton. Also in the programme, a data leak, named the Pandora Papers, has shone a light on the previously secret financial affairs of the world's rich and powerful; we get global reaction to the revelations. Plus, the head of Airbus has told the 大象传媒 that the aerospace business is now also experiencing significant problems with its supply chains, which will inevitably lead to higher prices. We get the details from the 大象传媒's Michelle Fleury. And workers in Hollywood could go on strike, bringing movie production to a halt. Members of the International Association of Theatrical Stage Employees voted overwhelmingly to approve a strike over pay and conditions, as we hear from Gene Maddaus, a senior writer for Variety. Plus, we're joined throughout the programme by Peter Morici, Professor Emeritus of International Business at the University of Maryland and in Delhi, Jyoti Malhotra, National & Strategic Affairs Editor at The Print newspaper.
