Episode notes

The british government bailed out one web two years ago with a 500 million dollar investment. Ire asked what do u.K. Officials make of these murder talks? The uk. Government officials spoken to are pretty happy about the deal. But for me, it's just another example of the schitsophrenic nature of life in the u k. Right now it's a completely rudderless country without a strategy.

US Big Tech companies are set to release quarterly earnings this week, German business confidence hits a two-year low, and French satellite operator Eutelsat has confirmed it is in discussions to acquire smaller British rival OneWeb in an all-share deal. Plus, cities are especially vulnerable to this summer’s record hot temperatures.

An early version of this podcast stated the UK left the European Space Agency when actually, the UK remains a full member of ESA which is a non-EU organisation. We regret the error and have removed it from the podcast.
