Special counsel Robert Mueller delivers report

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his long-awaited report on alleged collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. The report was delivered to the Department of Justice, where Attorney General William Barr will decide how much of it to share with Congress. The BBC's Nick Bryant has been looking back at a complex and politically sensitive investigation. Also in the show, electric scooters and other new modes of transport could be allowed on Britain's roads under a wide-ranging review. A report from the government this week suggests loosening the rules on speed and power to encourage wider use. We’ll hear from James Metcalfe, Co-founder of VOLT bikes. Thailand's five years of military government haven't helped the country's economy. We’ll hear from Korn Chatikavanij, a former finance minister and candidate for the new assembly, on what he thinks might turn the economy around. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Eshe Nelson, economics and markets reporter for Quartz in London, and Mike Regan of Bloomberg in New York. All through the show we’ll be joined by Colin Peacock from Radio New Zealand. (Picture: The Department of Justice stands in the early hours of Friday morning, March 22, 2019 in Washington, DC.
