	Description:		In one of the largest antitrust cases in decades, a judge in the United States has given telecommunications giant AT&T the all clear to buy Time Warner, a major entertainment company. The case could influence the US media scene for years to come. We're joined from New York by the BBC's Paul Blake. President Trump believes economic prospects for North Korea could be bright, after a historic summit in Singapore with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un. Robert Manning of the Atlantic Council in Washington DC and Dr Balbina Hwang of Georgetown University weigh in on the still very large unknowns of the deal. After Starbucks closed thousands of coffee shops across the US and Canada for diversity training, we have a report from the BBC’s Adrienne Murray in Washington, examining how corporate America is responding to charges of racism. And finally, our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare gives her take on the link between fitness in the gym and power in the boardroom. And throughout the show we’ll be joined by Mitchell Hartman of Marketplace in Portland and Sushma Ramachandran, former Business Editor of The Hindu in Delhi.
