Epic vs Apple legal battle wraps up

Financial Times
About this episode

Today is the final day of the courtroom battle between Apple and Fortnite developer Epic games, which has accused Apple of abusing its position by forcing developers to distribute apps exclusively through the App Store. ExxonMobil faces a pivotal moment this week as shareholders have their say on what critics call an inadequate response to seismic shifts brought on by climate change. The chief executive of AstraZeneca, Pascal Soriot, insists that his company’s Covid-19 has a future, and for the first time, the European bloc is allowed to arm governments in conflict zones, with money from a new €5bn fund known as the European Peace Facility.
