FBI app lures criminals into police hands

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Hundreds of suspected criminals have been arrested after using an FBI-run messaging app. The joint operation with 16 law enforcement agencies worldwide was an effort to crack down on serious organised crime. Professor Robert Chesney the Chair of The University of Texas's school of law, tells us how the sting operation worked. Plus, the BBC's Samira Hussain reports from New York on the challenges young people are experiencing with finding jobs. And one of the world's largest fast food companies has taken a not so subtle jab at one of its rivals. Burger King has used Pride Month to take aim at Chick -fil -A; we hear from Curtis Wong, senior culture reporter at the HuffPost. Plus, we're joined throughout the programme by Peter Landers, Japan Bureau Chief for the Wall Street Journal and Sarah Birke, The Economist’s Bureau Chief for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.
