Nato says China is its latest priority as its defence technology gets more advanced. We hear about the global defence economy and if Nato is still relevant, with Dr Jacob Parakilas, an expert on transatlantic military strategy. WhatsApp has launched a campaign vowing to maintain privacy– or ‘end-to-end encryption’ – of messages sent on the app. Should employers be allowed to fire you if you have not had the coronavirus vaccine? We discuss with Bob Lian Junior, an employment lawyer at Akin Gump, about whether or not it is legal for companies to ask to see proof of vaccination. Finally, we discover what the best way is to break bad news at work with the BBC’s Elizabeth Hotson. We discuss all this live with guests Jeanette Rodrigues from Bloomberg News in Mumbai, and economist Peter Morici in the US. (Photo: US President Joe Biden at the Nato summit.
