Mexican drug lord sentenced to life in prison

Available for over a year

A US judge has sentenced Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán to life in prison plus 30 years. Guzmán was found guilty of 10 charges, including drug trafficking and money laundering, by a federal court in New York in February. He is a former head of the Sinaloa cartel, which officials say was the biggest supplier of drugs to the US. We hear from the journalist Jessica Loudis who attended the trial. Mexican investigative journalist Anabel Hernandez, who has been reporting on the links between the Mexican authorities, business and the drugs trade, tells us that this verdict does not change the reality for Mexico, still gripped by the drugs trade and endemic corruption. We also ask why Netlix shares have fallen by more than 10% despite success with original series like Stranger Things. Also on the programme - just how safe are electric scooters - now being bought and hired all over the world? A debate over their safety has been re-ignited in the UK after the very first fatality of a rider at the weekend. And we take a closer look at Elon Musk's latest venture - linking the human brain to computers. Presenter Jon Bithrey is joined by guests Varshini Prakash in Boston and Simon Littlewood in Singapore.
