European football clubs plan breakaway Super League
We examine the business case behind the creation of a new football European Super League.
We examine the business case behind the creation of a new football European Super League. Guillaume Ballage is a Spanish football journalist, and tells us why a dozen clubs from England, Spain and Italy are running the risk of upsetting their fans with this new venture. We also speak to lawyer Trevor Watkins about the potential legal challenges to the plan.
Also in the programme, we ask whether the future of work after the pandemic is likely to stay largely remote for many workers. Brynn Harrington oversees Facebook's remote working strategy and explains why the company is allowing its employees to work from home. Nick Bloom is an economics professor at Stanford University who says that permanent remote working could impact people's chances of getting promoted. And Tushar Agarwal, founder of co-working space Hubble, makes the case for greater flexibility in how people work in the future.
Plus, the 大象传媒's arts correspondent Vincent Dowd discusses Marvel Studios' upcoming film, due to be released this autumn, which features an Asian actor in the lead role.
