Judge Clears AT&T Takeover Of Time Warner

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Judge Clears AT&T Takeover Of Time Warner

Telecommunications giant AT&T has received the all clear to buy Time Warner.

In one of the largest antitrust cases in decades, a judge in the United States has given telecommunications giant AT&T the all clear to buy Time Warner, a major entertainment company. The case could influence the US media scene for years to come. We're joined from New York by the BBC's Paul Blake.

President Trump believes economic prospects for North Korea could be bright, but that view is controversial. Following a historic summit in Singapore between North Korea and the US, we get the reaction of North Korean defector Ensun Kim, and ask Robert Manning of the Atlantic Council in Washington DC what work actually needs to be done to put a deal in place. 

We'll also hear how the markets reacted to the summit, with Mark Kepner of Themis Trading in New Jersey. 

Also in the show, the BBC's Dave Lee gives us the view from E3, the world's biggest gaming convention, and Dr Ruth Valerio of the development charity Tearfund explains how much of a challenge plastic waste presents for Africa. 

Plus, after Starbucks closed thousands of coffee shops across the US and Canada for diversity training, we have a report from Washington examining how corporate America is responding to charges of racism.
