Samsung heir Lee Jae-yong has been released from a South Korean prison and is on parole. Mr Lee is de facto head of Samsung, served just over half of his sentence, and we hear how the release has been received in South Korea from Joyce Lee, who is a reporter with the Reuters news agency in Seoul. Also in the programme, China's third busiest port, Ningbo-Zhoushan has been partially shut down, due to a worker being infected with coronavirus. Nick Sevidies is editor of the shipping magazine Loadstar, and tells us how it might impact the global shipping industry. We find out from television critic Scott Bryan why Amazon Studios has decided to switch filming of the upcoming Lord of the Rings TV series from New Zealand to the UK. Plus, the 大象传媒's Frey Lindsay reports on how tensions are rising on all sides, as the European Union and Turkey try to negotiate renewed funding for a migration deal made at the height of the migrant crisis in 2016, which limited the number of asylum seekers arriving on EU shores. We also have a regular look at the US markets with Chris Low from FHN Financial.
