US Supreme Court overturns race-based college admissions

BBC World Service - Business Matters, US Supreme Court overturns race-based college admissions

US President Joe Biden said he "strongly" disagreed with the court's decision, and the US would need "a new path forward that is consistent with the law".

Roger Hearing discusses this and more business news with two guests on opposite sides of the world: media entrepreneur Stella Bangura in Sierra Leone and market analyst Ralph Silva in Toronto.
