Apple passes $2tn amidst global downturn

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Tech giant Apple becomes the first US company to be valued at $2 trillion – we ask how it managed to grow, when many of world’s economies have slowed down during the global pandemic. In Brussels, European Union leaders met to discuss the thorny issue of what to do about Belarus, as they come under pressure not to endorse recent election results over the country’s controversial leadership. And we ask if Kamala Harris, who is addressing the Democratic conference, will inspire a new generation of female leaders. We discuss all this with guests Alison Van Diggelen, host of ‘Fresh Dialogues’ in Silicon Valley, and Jodi Schneider from Bloomberg News in Hong Kong (Image: The Apple logo seen on a cellphone with USD banknote in the background.
