EU Presidency Row

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

A row has erupted between several European leaders over who should be president of the European Commission. We ask why it matters for Europe's economy. And, it is a year since the whistle-blower Edward Snowden revealed the scale of US cyber monitoring. We assess what effect it has had on confidence in US technology, as potential customers are wary of the risk of their data being monitored. Plus, we are in Los Angeles at the E3 conference to find out what the world's biggest technology companies have planned. We are joined by special guests Gordon Chang in Toronto, author of The Coming Collapse of China, and Jennifer Cheng, CEO of Glam It, a cosmetics company in Hong Kong.
