Trump impeachment inquiry grips America

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Wednesday's hearings were broadcast live and uninterrupted by the major TV news networks - the first public hearings in the month-long inquiry. We recap on the day's events. Google has announced its plan to launch a bank, the latest tech giant to move into financial services. What will this offer consumers, and how will it impact the banking sector? We speak to technology journalist Ian Sherr in San Francisco. And the Dutch government will introduce a new, lower daytime maximum speed limit next year, in an attempt to reduce pollution. How effective will it be? Bram van Liere from Friends of the Earth explains. Rob Young is joined throughout the programme by Alexander Kaufmann, environment reporter at the Huffington Post, from New York, and Sushma Ramachandran, former chief business correspondent at The Hindu, who's in Delhi.
