Donald Trump cleared after impeachment trial

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The US President is acquitted by the Senate of abuse of power by 52-48 votes of obstructing Congress by 53-47 votes in an impeachment trial which has divided America. We get the latest from our correspondent in Washington. The coronavirus outbreak has been declared a global health emergency. As businesses start to halt their operations in China, we ask risk management consultancy Marsh what firms can do to protect themselves and their staff. The US department store Macy's is to close 125 of its shops. But tomorrow it will open an experimental concept store in Texas as part of its turnaround plan. Will it be enough? Susannah Streeter is joined throughout the programme by Enda Curran, Bloomberg's Asia Economics correspondent, who's in Sydney, and Nicole Childers, executive producer for Marketplace on American Public Media in Los Angeles.
