G7 nations 'millimetre away' from tax deal for tech companies

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

France and Germany's finance ministers said an agreement on a global minimum tax rate was very close. We have a round-up of the latest news from the G7 summit, and hear from Tove Maria Ryding from European Network on Debt and Development for her take on the plans. Also in the programme, the BBC's Mike Johnson takes an extended look at the issue of where our plastic recycling waste really ends up. Plus, we speak to the CEO of Boom Supersonic, Kathy Savitt, on the return of supersonic passenger air travel following the news that United Airlines has ordered 15 aircraft from the company. And we're in the front row as Nigerian musicians finally get back in front of a live audience again. Fergus Nicoll is joined in the programme by Colin Peacock of Radio New Zealand.
