Available for over a year

Meanwhile users of the messaging service WeChat win a court injunction to halt the ban. We get the latest from Kim Lyons of the Verge. We also hear about the leak of more than 2,000 documents which seem to reveal serious failings in how the world's biggest banks deal with dirty money and Tim Alderslade, the head of Airlines UK makes a plea for an air bridge between New York and London, to save the fortunes of transatlantic airlines and airports suffering from a slump in passengers because of the pandemic.
