The secondary effects of coronavirus arrive, as tech giant Apple warns of production and demand disruption

The secondary effects of coronavirus (COVID-19) arrive, as tech giant Apple warns of production and demand disruption - and Chinese car parts are flown in to Europe in suitcases. We have a guide to the most highly regarded tax havens... by tax dodgers, and how the EU is gunning for the places where it's hard to find who owns what.  Amazon founder Jeff Bezos became one of the most generous philanthropists in history -but all is not as it seems, as people raise eyebrows at how little tax the corporation pays. And no dairy please, we're millennials: how the alternative milk movement is hurting US famers. Plus as HSBC bank loses profits from its European operations, an expert tells us how its peers are also ailing in the region. All this is discussed live with guests Diane Brady, columnist in New York, and Jasper Kim, economist, in Seoul, South Korea.
