Covid pandemic turns 1 & Facebook gears up to fight regulation
The Earth has taken a full trip around the Sun since Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic, bringing with it some of the most unprecedented measures in world history. We take you on a trip down memory lane to revisit all the calamity of the last year. Then we turn to the oil sector, where prices have finally recovered after seeing the largest drop on record during the turmoil of 2020. Octavio Marenzi of Opimas LLC joins the program for a look at where the energy sector stands and what moves lie ahead. Plus, amid the ongoing US crackdown on Chinese telecom giant Huawei, Russia has made moves to accommodate the firm as it moves to expand its 5G infrastructure. Our own Ben Swann and Christy Ai offer their insight on the plan and what it means for the future of global 5G development. And later, we take you back inside the fight over tech regulation as Facebook has vowed to combat proposed measures from the US government, with Mollye Barrows of ‘America’s Lawyer’.
