US & EU taking on big tech, Venezuela's political instability & what might the future hold for Aer Lingus?
This week on Taking Stock with Joe Lynam:
Big tech has often been seen as too big to be reined in by regulation but that might be changing as lawmakers are targeting well-known brands like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta. We’ll be finding out about the differing approaches being taken from both Europe and the US.
As the struggle for political supremacy in Venezuela goes on, we look at the man at the centre of it all - Nicholas Maduro.
