BBC World Service - World Business Report, Google faces unfair practices lawsuit

Legal action has been started alleging unfair and anti-competitive practice.

Legal action has been started by 38 Attorneys general in the United States - alleging unfair and anti-competitive practice; we hear from Kirin Stacey, Washington Correspondent at the Financial Times. The European Parliament has set a Sunday deadline to ratify a Brexit trade deal this year. The BBC's Andrew Walker brings us the latest news on the ongoing negotiations. Also in the programme, we hear from the US trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, about the possibility of a UK-US trade deal before the end of the Trump administration. Zambia's president, Edgar Lungu, has said that the state must assume a significant stake in selected copper mines to benefit the country beyond taxes, though argued he is not calling for nationalisation. The Economist Intelligence Unit's Zambia analyst Neil Thompson brings us the details. We have a report from Abuja, Nigeria, on an initiative to use solar-powered fridges to help distribute coronavirus vaccines to even the most remote communities.
