Boeing's culture of 'concealment' led to fatal crashes
Big Boss InterviewAvailable for over a year
A report from the US shows the plane firm's secrecy led to the fatal 737 Max plane crashes. Plus, the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates unchanged, which should help recovery as stock markets like subdued news and minimal changes, says Susan Schmidt of Aviva Investors in the US. Plus, we hear from the dad who is taking YouTube Kids to court over its use of childrens' data - we speak with the BBC's Zoe Thomas for an overview, and parent Duncan McCann in the UK who is bringing the case, plus we hear YouTube's statement on the issue. Plus, more on the fact that the World Trade Organisation said that US tariffs on China were in 'breach' of regulations. We discuss all this with guests Alison Van Diggelen, Host of Fresh Dialogues based in Silicon Valley, and Andy Xie, a reporter in China. (Image: Boeing Unveils Is First 737 MAX 7 Passenger.
