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, the media industry’s sea change has been brutally tough not just for newspapers but also magazines. Dawn Ostroff, president of Conde Nast Entertainment, explains how the company is leaning into those challenges. 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.
