Theresa May Urges Action on Online Extremism

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Britain's prime minister has used the G7 summit to call for action on online extremism. We find out what more technology companies could do to help, from Professor Alan Woodward of the Cyber Security Centre at Surrey University. Also in the programme, the BBC's Fergus Nicoll reports on the impact Britain's decision to leave the European Union is likely to have on farmers in the UK. We hear from Ross Beerman, chief executive of AllLife about an innovative life insurance initiative in South Africa, which ties premiums into effective health management. Plus we take a look back at the week's big business stories, with Soumeya Keynes of The Economist in London, and Keri Geiger of Bloomberg in New York. (Picture: Hands on a laptop keyboard.
