Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Streaming platform Twitch has had its source code and payout details leaked online after a security breach - we talk to Mikael Thalen of the Daily Dot and to an agent representing one of the streamers whose details were included in the leak. Chip-maker Intel has opened a new factory in Arizone and the BBC's Samira Hussain was given a guided tour. In the UK, Amazon's first non-food, bricks-and-mortar store has opened - Neil Saunders of GlobalData Retail tells us more. The WHO approves a new malaria vaccine to be rolled out across most of Africa, and in attempt to crack down on plagiarism in universities, England is to make it illegal to offer essay-writing services to students for a fee. Throughout the programme we're joined by Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto, and Yoko Ishikura, Professor Emeritus at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo.
