Murdoch loses 'succession’ battle, killing of a US CEO and why tycoons get up at 4am

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss the implications of Rupert Murdoch losing the Nevada court case, reactions to the fatal shooting of a CEO in New York, and the elite 4am club.

David Yelland and Simon Lewis assess one of the biggest fan-hitters in the history of the media industry - Rupert Murdoch’s failure to win the legal battle to control who takes the reins of his media empire. What does this defeat mean for the world’s most famous media mogul and his legacy?

Also, in the wake of the shocking, fatal shooting of healthcare executive Brian Thompson in New York and the online reaction to it, how might this tragic event reshape the way business leaders relate to the world?

And – when Disney CEO Bob Iger says he’s up at 4am, should we take notes? Why do so many business leaders go public with their early-bird morning routines?
