Boeing’s 737 max remains grounded; Brexit on track; have we reached peak Netflix?

Boeing's 737 Max plane remains grounded after a second deadly crash in March and investigations into one of the on-board software systems. As the United States banned Huawei equipment from its 5G network, the Chinese telecoms giant was defiant saying the world needs its technology. A decisive general election victory for the Conservative Party sees the UK on track to leave the European Union at the end of January. Countries failed to agree on how to tackle global warming, in spite of prominent media coverage of the climate strikes, spearheaded by activist Greta Thunberg. And as competition heats up for online video subscription services, we ask Variety chief TV critic Caroline Framke if we’ve reached peak Netflix. 

Martin Webber is joined by Captain Dennis Tajer, a pilot with American Airlines and spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association and Dominic Gates, aerospace reporter at the Seattle Times. Plus we hear from economists Roger Bootle and Dr Rebecca Harding.
