BBC World Service - Business Matters, US Travel Ban from Muslim-Majority Countries Approved

US Supreme Court upholds Trump's travel ban on people from majority Muslim nations

The US Supreme Court upholds President Trump's travel ban on people from majority Muslim nations. We hear the latest from the BBC's Peter Bowes.

Britain and the European Union have failed to reach an agreement in their latest round of negotiations on Brexit. We examine what went wrong and ask whether an agreement can be reached soon.

Facebook is trying to recruit some new members, by launching a messaging app for children as young as six years old. Katie Roof, senior writer at TechCrunch, tells us that the app is designed with controls that allow parents to decide who their children can connect to online.

All this is discussed with Alison Van Diggelen, host of the business interview series "Fresh Dialogues", from Stanford in California, and also David Moser, the Academic Director at the Yenching Academy at Peking University.
