Airbus Chief to Leave After Power Struggle

World Business Report

Available for over a year

European planemaker Airbus has unveiled a shake-up of its top management team. Robert Wall is an aviation reporter for the Wall Street Journal, and tells us what's behind the move. Also in the programme, there are warnings that Britain's undersea communications cables are at risk of being cut. James Mills of cyber security firm Requite Solutions explains the threat. We hear about gadgets that are being attached to cows to help farmers monitor their animals' health and wellbeing. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Matt Campbell of Bloomberg in London, and Henry Curr of the Economist in Washington, DC. (Picture: An Airbus plane.
