Venezuela builds up troops near Guyana border
The government of Nicolas Maduro increases military presence in the border with the disputed oil-rich Essequibo region despite the recent commitments it made in talks with Guyana. We take a look at how recent oil discoveries have escalated a historic disagreement.
As the Super Bowl approaches, we hear how the negotiations to take one of the largest sport events in the world to Las Vegas for the first time happened.
And we look into why the US financial regulator is cracking down on firms that didn't take measures to prevent staff from using text apps like WhatsApp to communicate with colleagues and clients.
Roger Hearing discusses these and more business stories with two guests on opposite sides of the world: Andy Uhler, Journalism Fellow at the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy & University of Texas Energy Institute, and Sharon Brettkelly of Radio New Zealand.
