Elon Musk has announced his replacement as the chief executive of Twitter. He’s confirmed that NBC Universal executive Linda Yaccarino will succeed him in the role. To take up the post Yaccarino resigned her role at NBC Universal - where she had worked as Chairman of Global Advertising and Partnerships - for 12 years. Will Bain speaks to Claire Atkinson, Chief Media Correspondent at Insider, who crossed paths with Linda when they both worked at NBC about what sort of boss she’ll be and the challenges that lay ahead. On Saturday the final of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Liverpool in the UK. The city is hosting the annual competition on behalf of last year’s winners, Ukraine, and as music fans from around the world descend on the city, reporter Hannah Mullane, finds out what it means for businesses there.
