Amazon Asked to Share Echo Data in Murder Case

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

A judge in the US has asked Amazon to hand over audio recordings from an Amazon Echo which was in a house where two women died. We hear from the BBC's Dave Lee. Stan Lee, the father of the modern comic book - he invented Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Spider Man and a hundred other characters - has died. The characters are the base of multiple multi-million dollar film franchises and we talk to Jeremy Conrad who runs the The Marvel Comic Universe website. Indian Railways recently launched the world's largest recruitment drive, and our reporter went to meet some of the job hunters. Only 5.18% of the world's commercial airline pilots are women - so why are there so few women, pilots? We hear from Kathy McCullough, communications chairwoman for the the International Society of Women Airline Pilots and herself a retired captain. Plus our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clarke considers how best to deal with a scenario where a temporary replacement for you at work turns out to do the job better than you. And we're joined throughout the programme by Alexander Kaufmann, of the Huffington Post, who's in New York and David Kuo, Director of The Motley Fool UK who's in Singapore.
