EU approves Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard


Listen Later

European regulators back a $69bn deal that was vetoed in the UK. A decision on the merge by US authorities is expected in the next few months. We take a look at the potential fallout of the takeover.
Also in the programme, we take a look at the rise and fall of Vice Media, which has just filed for bankruptcy. Once thought to be the future of journalism, firms like Vice and Buzzfeed are now fighting to survive. We find out why.
And we listen to how Argentines do business in an economy where inflation stands at 109% and interest rates have been raised to 97%.
Roger Hearing discusses these and other business news with two guests on opposite sides of the world: Alaezi Akpuru, owner and creative director of Virgioli Fashion, who's in Lagos, and Peter Morici, economist at the University of Maryland, in Virginia.
