BBC World Service - Business Matters, Disney takes coronavirus hit

The pandemic is likely to cost Disney $1.4 billion between April and June.

Disney's results are out and the company's said that the pandemic is likely to cost it $1.4 billion between April and June; we get the details from Joan E Solomon, a senior reporter at CNet in the US. Virgin Atlantic has announced it's cutting 3,000 jobs and quitting Gatwick Airport; the BBC's Theo Leggett tells us more. We find out how the coronavirus pandemic has affected charity fundraising. Plus, a few days after New Zealand lifted some of the strictest restrictions on business anywhere in the world, we have a report from the capital Wellington on how companies have started to adapt to new ways of working. And Timo Janse co-owner of Amsterdam bar, The Flying Dutchmen tells us about his cocktail delivery service. Plus we're joined throughout the programme by Nicole Childers, executive producer at Marketplace on American Public media and Simon Littlewood, President of ACG GLOBAL in Singapore.
