BBC World Service - World Business Report, Google strikes Australian news pay deal

Google has reportedly agreed to pay the Seven television network $23 million a year.

This week, the Australian parliament will debate whether to force digital giants like Google and Facebook to pay newspapers and television stations for linking to their news and features. In anticipation of this, the owner of the Seven television network has announced an agreement with Google worth a reported $23 million a year. We hear from Shona Ghosh, senior technology editor for the website, Business Insider. Plus, Bill Gates describes the implications of meeting the global target to reduce net carbon emissions to zero by the year 2050. And Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the former Nigerian finance minister and World Bank managing director has been confirmed as the World Trade Organisation's new director-general. She'll be the first woman, and the first African, to head the WTO; we get analysis from Mayeni Jones, the BBC's Nigeria correspondent in Lagos. And our regular workplace commentator, Stephanie Hare talks about how to approach bereavement in the workplace. (Picture of Google logo on phone by Nicolas Economou for Getty Images).
