Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

A look back at the big business stories of 2019 including Boeing's 737 Max plane, United States ban on Huawei equipment from its 5G network, Brexit and Climate change. Martin Webber is joined by Captain Dennis Tajer, a pilot with American Airlines and spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association and Dominic Gates, aerospace reporter at the Seattle Times. Plus we hear from economists Roger Bootle and Dr Rebecca Harding. Also on the programme, Jane Wakefield looks at how technology is being used in two very different cities, asking whether there is a privacy trade-off when we go about our daily lives and whether citizens need to take back control of the data they share in urban spaces.
