BBC World Service - Business Matters, US-China talks end

US officials say the talks with their Chinese counterparts have been tough and direct

The first face to face meeting between the new US administration and top Chinese officials has ended in Anchorage, Alaska. US officials say two days of talks with their Chinese counterparts have been tough and direct. We hear from the BBC's State Department correspondent Barbara Plett Usher who's in Anchorage. And Alan Joyce the boss at Qantas tells us he's firmly in favour of Covid vaccination for all passengers, to restore confidence in the travel industry. Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch, the Australian media mogul is 90 years old this month, so what's his legacy? We have an extended report from the BBC's Ed Butler. And Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal interviews Illinois state comptroller Susana Mendoza about the challenges of funding a state during a pandemic. Plus, Manchester United have agreed a new shirt-sponsorship with the global technology company TeamViewer.  As we hear from Aaron Paul at BBC Sport, it's believed to be worth around $325m over five years and is the most lucrative sponsorship deal to be struck by any sports team in the world during the past year. And we're joined throughout the programme by Peter Ryan, ABC's Senior Business Correspondent in Sydney. (Photo: The Chinese delegation led by Yang Jiechi. Credit: Frederic J Brown/Getty Images).
