This is the business im paid ferguson thanks for joining me u. S. President donald trump has threatened to bomb it to american tech giants want to buy it as chinese own video sharing pop for talk faces increasing scrutiny in the United States u. S. Tech conglomerate microsoft remains the front runner to acquire its american operations but not twitter has entered the game to holding talks with tech talk with a view to the same sale its unclear if twitter could bid microsoft but some analysts say the company could face less right to tree examination for more im joined now by Alison Stewart allen from International Marketing partners in london alison good to talk to you does twitter have a chance of getting microsoft for to talk to us operations. Well believe it or not i think twitter actually does have a good chance i think one of the things that twitter is very hungry for is access to more video content but also to capture a market which will be children those sort of between ages 5 and 15 who traditionally dont use twitter to really know of twitter arent engaged with it of course children that age very often are engaged with microsoft through p. C. s now with home schooling lots of Software Applications in the Office Package are accessed but frankly for twitter this could be a huge win ok so we have 2 Major Companies in the running here but why you would potentially face less magnetron spatially than microsoft. A couple of reasons number one the size of twitter you know its a 20 to 29000000000 Dollar Company not that thats small by any measure but compared to microsoft its a tiny little irritant in terms of microsoft you know the latest valuations have at somewhere around 1. 00 trillion dollars so youre talking about you know 56. 00 times the size of twitter and when you have a company thats that big of course it gets a lot of attention from regulators and a lot of other bodies that are concerned about ownership of and controlling up a number of social media and computer programs and interface interfaces whereas with twitter because its relatively speaking smaller it probably would therefore have less scrutiny because of its size and for those who might not be so familiar with take top how valuable and acquisition would it be. Well i think it would be fantastically valuable for twitters perspective because it hasnt traditionally had access to this Younger Group of customers but the more important thing is it would get data which is the lifeblood of twitter and also show Media Outlets for that matter it would get data about children now theres an ethical question here which the regulators no doubt will want to look into but the other thing it would get in acquiring to talk because to talk is traditionally in its short life focused on younger people is it would get a slew of advertisers that also want to capture that maybe 5 to 15 year old target market where historically twitter has not really had those Companies Spending their advertising dollars or euros with them for that group so it supposes twitter to a wider group of advertisers which has to be a good thing in volatile Economic Times like were in right now. Some huge Growth PotentialAlison Stewart allan thanks for speaking to us. These are tough times for businesses but not everyone is suffering the value of some of americas Biggest Companies including ours on has actually surged during the crisis thats prompted the ire of employees who say their boss should be paying a far more tax. Protesters marching in front of the new york city home of amazon boss jeff bezos they want the billionaire and other rich americans to pay more in taxes and for amazon to treat its employees better is specially at a time where the Ecommerce Companies as well as other tech giants such as facebook and google have profited enormously from the coronavirus pandemic. To tax me on the war me to tax yet every one i get with. All of them of being is really not being. What one of the. Tell me were right. We have billionaires that were giving a building making money for are not being taxed or youre getting tax cuts you can. Get tax breaks.

Thats bring indeed obvious Business Correspondent and squad to new york now yes millions of americans are really struggling right now as they wait on the next set of stimulus measures from the government u. S. President donald trump did sign some executive orders over the weekend what were they and whats the reaction vane. I mean despicable clearly is smaller than what to claim congress had discussed and failed on if donald trump wanted new money he needs the permission from congress so he had to take money from already existing funds so one of the centerpieces is weekly unemployment aid in the amount of 400 dollars 25 percent of that extra lee should come from us states it is unclear if that really is going to happen maybe we might see even some legal challenges to the order from the u. S. President and if you look at reactions well at least wall street was up here on monday blue chips are gaining about 360 points but im not sure if thats true this is a pick its all the order from the president. And meanwhile as we saw in that report that some of the biggest u. S. Companies have massive profits how has that been going to the american public. Clutha its a its a huge outrage here in the United States just look what happened in the past couple of months with politicians like Bernie Sanders or also Elizabeth Warren calling for much higher taxes Bernie Sanders actually just this weekend was looking for a make the millionaire pay act and if you look what happened in the past couple of months the 600 richest americans just during the pandemic so far increased their wealth by 700 1000000000. 00 and even some bankers like jamie dimon for example the head of the biggest u. S. Bank here in the United States j. P. Morgan are saying that inequality came to a degree where its really problematic so you have americans you have politicians and you also even have people on wall street crying for change.
