Will the UK will lose its influence in the world if it leaves the European Union? That’s what President Obama is saying, in light of the potential for Britain to exit the EU by early as next year! In an interview with the BBC on Thursday, Obama said that the UK should stay in the EU to ensure its influence in the world. He also argued that it has made the world safer and more prosperous. Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Erin Ade is joined by Gary Leff – co-founder of Milepoint.com and blogger at “View from the Wing.” Gary tells us why limited service hotels have been on the rise over the past 10 years and gives us his take on how companies like Airbnb are changing the hotel industry.
After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at a new bill proposed by Congressman John Mica (R-FL) that would decrease the cost of checked baggage fees to $4.50. It's a pretty bold move considering the airline industry made $38 billion off of the fees last year.
Afterwards, Ameera and Erin discuss how Anthem is buying rival Cigna for $52.3 billion – a deal that will create the largest US health insurer by membership and reshape the US healthcare insurance industry.
And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison talk about The Financial Times, Apple, and Amazon. Apple makes a huge profit but its stock sinks, while Amazon ekes out a much smaller profit and its stock price soars. Meanwhile the FT shows us how the world is becoming both more digital and more global.
