Trump v the Media

Available for over a year

Donald Trump meets journalists and management of the New York Times, part of what he has referred to as the "crooked media". So has he had a change of heart, or should US journalists remain concerned? We speak to Pete Vernon, from the Columbia Journalism Review. Plus, after the US president-elect pledges a bonfire of regulations, potentially in the financial sector, we hear from Neel Kashkari, head of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, who wants banks to hold huge capital buffers to shield taxpayers from future bailouts. Roger Farmer, a professor at UCLA, says buffers as high as 38% may not be enough. A Russian cyber-security firm says hackers have been remotely forcing ATMs around the world to 'spit cash'. Tracy Kitten of the Information Security Media Group explains how and why these bank systems are vulnerable. Venetia Rainey reports from Lebanon on a controversial plan to bring in more revenue for the government - by legalising marijuana. And Cindy Sui brings us news of the collapse of TransAsia, Taiwan's third largest airline. Our guests today are Saker Nusseibeh, CEO of Hermes Investment Management, and Raghu Manavalan, multimedia producer for Marketplace Radio.
