BBC World Service - Business Matters, Europe proposes trillion Euro boost

European authorities consider a huge loan to help reboost after coronavirus

Europe proposes a boost to its budget by half a trillion euro, raised by borrowing money to regenerate the economy. Italy is coming out of lockdown, but many believe leaving their homes is going to bring things back to the way they were. With the cinemas closed in India, film producers have been forced to release the latest Bollywood blockbusters on Amazon - we'll look at how it may change Hindi language cinema. Plus, Uber announces job losses in some of its most ambitious projects. We talk about all this with guests Peter Morici,  Professor of International Business at the R.H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland  in Washington and Jeanette Rodrigues Mumbai Bureau Chief for Bloomberg.
