The de facto boss of the world's largest smartphone maker has been convicted of bribery.
The de facto boss of the world's largest smartphone maker has been convicted of bribery. We have a report from Seoul, South Korea. Also in the programme, we hear from Ethiopia, where the country's economy is performing strongly. Ahead of Saturday's big boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, Irish journalist Gavan Casey tells us why it could be the most lucrative pay-per-view event in history. Plus we look back at all the week's big business stories with Henry Curr, economics editor of The Economist in New York, and Swaha Pattaniak, economics editor of Breakingviews.com, in London.
