BBC World Service - World Business Report, Japanese brewery Kirin terminates partnership in Myanmar

Business weighs up the cost of investing in Myanmar

As business weighs up the cost of investing in Myanmar, Japan's Kirin brewery has terminated a joint-venture partnership with Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited. We get the perspective of Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK, which promotes human rights in the country. And Vasuki Shastry, associate fellow of the Asia-Pacific programme at the research group Chatham House, tells us what wider impact the move is likely to have.
Rupert Murdoch has announced plans for a news streaming service in the UK, the first venture of its kind for his media empire. We speak to James Warrington at the City AM newspaper about the new channel.
In China, so-called 'super apps' are growing in popularity, where one app does the job of hundreds, and can help you organise almost every aspect of your life. The BBC's Karishma Vaswani brings us the details. 
Plus we look ahead to this weekend's Super Bowl in the US, which attracts more than 100 million viewers and is one of the biggest moments in the advertising calendar. But we find out why this year some big name brands have opted out of the spectacle.
