Big Boss Interview

Video sharing app TikTok's parent ByteDance has rejected an offer from Microsoft to buy the firm, amid US national security concerns. Oracle has now stepped in and has confirmed a partnership with the app. We speak to Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at the NYU Stern School of Business. And the BBC's Ed Butler takes a closer look at the impact trade between the US and China is having on the upcoming US presidential election. Plus we have a report from Ijeoma Ndukwe exploring the challenges business owners from ethnic minority backgrounds can face when it comes to getting bank loans at affordable rates. And Gary Leff, travel expert tells us about the phenomenon of flights to nowhere. Plus, we're joined throughout the programme by Kimberly Adams, a host on our US sister programme, Marketplace and Simon Littlewood, an author, broadcaster based in Singapore.
