	Description:		Tesla boss Elon Musk is considering taking the electric-car firm private, a move he claimed was the "best path forward" for the company. Musk announced the plan on Twitter and said investors backed it, though it requires a shareholder vote. Miriam Gottfried, Private Equity Reporter for The Wall Street Journal, gives us her reaction. Colombia's new president, Ivan Duque, was sworn into office on Tuesday. The BBC's Luis Fajardo watched Mr Duque's inaugural speech. Disney posted disappointing earnings, prompting a 2 per cent drop in its share price. Anthony Ha of Tech Crunch explains why things are still looking up for the company. Plus we have a report from Stockholm where growing numbers of Swedes are paying to have microchips inserted under their skin, to help with accessing locked doors and in place of rail tickets. All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: Alexis Goldstein, activist and financial reform advocate, in Washington DC. And Jyoti Malhotra, National & Strategic Affairs Editor at The Print - in Delhi. (Photo: Elon Musk. Credit: Getty Images.)
