Rapid Drop to Yahoo Share Price

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Rapid Drop to Yahoo Share Price

More than a billion people affected by a second data breach of Yahoo email accounts.

Yahoo has said more than one billion user accounts may have been affected in a hacking attack dating back to 2013. The internet giant said it appeared separate from a 2014 breach disclosed in September, when Yahoo revealed 500 million accounts had been accessed. The company's digital operations are due to be sold to Verizon early next year. Business Matters speak to  Ed Cummings, Bloomberg's deals reporter based in New York.

As President-elect Donald Trump announces more members of his administration, Mike Johnson asked our regular commentator, the American economist Irwin Stelzer whether business people actually make good policy makers?

Sumiran Preet Kaur reports from Delhi where record numbers of people have had to flee their homes this year, because of conflict in countries like Syria and Afghanistan. But some entrepreneurial Afghan women refugees in the Indian capital Delhi have been working hard to turn things round and have been cooking up a project to help them get back on their feet. 

Business Matters is joined for comment throughout the programme by David Kuo of the Motley Fool - who's in Singapore and Diane Brady, a business columnist and author in New York.
