Trump to declare emergency over wall

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

President Trump will sign up to the deal to keep the US government running, but he will also declare a state of emergency in order to get the money to build his wall. Also Britain's prime minister loses another vote on Brexit. How long can she and her latest Brexit plan survive? Plus, why an artificial intelligence project is not releasing their research over fear of fake news. Jack Clark from OpenAI explains how the technology works and why they're keeping it under wraps. The internet giant Amazon had been planning to build a second headquarters and locate it in New York City - but not any more. It abandoned the plans because of opposition from local politicians. Plus, on Valentine's Day, our reporter asks whether when it comes to finding a life partner, you should let your heart rule your head, or the other way around. All this and more discussed with two guests throughout the show: political journalist Erin Delmore, in New York and Sushma Ramachandran, former chief business correspondent at The Hindu, in Delhi.
