Dubai: Do you know what Egyptian football star Mohammad Salah’s abrupt exit from the Champions League final has in common with oil prices and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
Well, if you listen to today’s podcast, you may find out, or you may not.
What you will certainly learn is where Ed and Sarah stand on the Sergio Ramos and Mo Salah incident that saw the Egyptian’s cup final dreams come crashing down (hint: they don’t agree), why oil prices are dropping, and why those pesky privacy emails are still flooding inboxes across the world.
With oil supplies shrinking, and prices shooting up, a meeting between Russia and Saudi Arabia has set next month’s Opec meeting up to be a tense affair. We discuss what the consequences of a revival of oil production would be, and how Saudi Arabia’s partners in the oil cartel might feel.
Elsewhere, companies across Europe, and further afield, scramble to get GDPR-compliant. Two newspapers stopped offering their websites to European internet users, while games company Blizzard had to strip its log in page down to the bare essentials to remain compliant with the new data privacy law.
We discuss what to look out for this week in terms of lawsuits and the reaction from the world’s tech titans, such as Google and Facebook.
