GLP-1 weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro are reshaping the treatment of obesity — and transforming the global pharmaceutical market.Originally developed to treat type-2 diabetes, these injectable medicines — including semaglutide and tirzepatide — are now widely prescribed for weight loss, with growing evidence they can also reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.But in the United States, access to GLP-1 drugs often depends on insurance coverage — and on who can afford to pay.In this first episode of a three-part Business Daily series on the global weight-loss economy, Sam Fenwick examines the real cost of obesity drugs in the U.S. healthcare system.How much do GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro actually cost? Are they cost-effective in the long term? And can insurers and employers afford to provide them to millions of Americans living with obesity?If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukProduced and presented by Sam Fenwick.Business Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

Today - from a teenage DIY invention, to US national TV, to changing legislation, and now global sales. What started as a way to protect a friend who'd been drugged at a college bar became a product made from an old hair scrunchie and her mum's stockings. Shirah Benarde tells us how she set up NightCap, a business that's grown from a bedroom prototype, to securing investment on the Shark Tank show in the US, to a global safety brand in just a few years.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Sam Fenwick Producer: Ahmed AdanBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

Today, we're looking at a wooden house revolution that's happening in Europe. Concrete's carbon footprint is turning architects and construction companies towards trees. In Portugal, a rush of new residents to the sparsely populated rural areas – and a lack of builders – is driving the flat-pack and modular wooden house market. Many of these rural plots often have a ruined, abandoned house on them, creating opportunities for faster construction.We also meet an architect who has dedicated his life to building in wood, championing a material he believes is key to more sustainable design.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Alastair LeitheadBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

The use of electronic travel authorisations or ETAs is growing worldwide. Dozens of countries have brought them in, or are bringing them in this year, but many passengers are forgetting to complete them - and missing flights. It's costing customers and business big money to re-book.

India is home to more than a billion people. For decades, many families lived with uncertainty around food, water and work. Even as incomes rise and the economy grows, for many people the fear of not having enough remains. It's called 'scarcity mindset'.

Fraudsters are increasingly using deepfake videos of CEOs and other company executives to trick firms out of millions of dollars. And with the evolution of AI, these videos are becoming ever-more sophisticated and convincing. We speak to two CEOs who have been deepfaked: the head of the Bombay stock exchange and the boss of password security company LastPass. And we hear how criminals used deepfake videos to trick British engineering firm Arup into handing over $25 million. How easy is it to make these videos? Ed Butler visits a cybersecurity company which shows him how it can be done, using readily available software. Ed's hosts make a deepfake of him and we compare the real Ed to the fake Ed.

In just a few months, the country has signed or advanced several major trade deals with other nations. Is it a reflection of the growing size of the Indian economy - it is on course to become the third largest in the world - or it is because of a global economic realignment due to US President Donald Trump's tariff policies? And is India ready to open its markets to foreign competition, or is there a danger that it will lead to job losses in some sectors?

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy ponemos el foco en los compromisos económicos de gran envergadura que ha dejado la cumbre global de inteligencia artificial celebrada en la India. El encuentro, encabezado por el primer ministro Narendra Modi, reunió a destacados dirigentes internacionales como Emmanuel Macron y Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. La cita tuvo como propósito principal examinar los desafíos y oportunidades que plantea el desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial en el país asiático, así como su impacto en la economía global. Además de los líderes políticos, participaron figuras clave del sector tecnológico, que aprovecharon el foro para anunciar ambiciosos planes de inversión. Entre los anuncios más relevantes destacó el de Thomas Kurian, máximo responsable de Google Cloud, quien confirmó una inversión de 15.000 millones de dólares durante los próximos cinco años. El proyecto contempla la creación de un gran centro integral de inteligencia artificial en Visakhapatnam. Por su parte, Sundar Pichai, consejero delegado de Alphabet Inc., comunicó la puesta en marcha de dos nuevas rutas de fibra óptica para reforzar la conectividad regional, y subrayó la relevancia estratégica que la IA tiene ya en la vida cotidiana y en la competitividad empresarial. Otra de las grandes protagonistas fue Microsoft. Su presidente, Brad Smith, avanzó un compromiso inversor de 50.000 millones de dólares hasta el final de la década con el fin de ampliar el acceso tecnológico en el sur global. Aunque se esperaba la intervención de Bill Gates, finalmente canceló su participación para que la atención se centrara en los objetivos esenciales del foro. Estas cifras se suman a los 17.000 millones ya destinados el año anterior, consolidando a India como un mercado prioritario. También OpenAI anunció avances significativos. La empresa creadora de ChatGPT se asoció con Tata Consultancy Services para levantar dos centros de datos dentro del proyecto Stargate, con una capacidad inicial de 100 megavatios ampliable hasta un gigavatio. Su director ejecutivo, Sam Altman, incidió en el papel transformador de la IA. La cumbre dejó además una imagen llamativa: Altman y Dario Amodei, máximo responsable de Anthropic, evitaron estrecharse la mano en la despedida oficial.

We're in France, where traditional eateries, bistros, and brasseries, once a huge part of the economy, as well as the culture of the country, are disappearing fast. A few years ago, if you drove through France, you'd come across dozens of little restaurants. Now, in many small towns, you'll only find a boulangerie and a takeaway. Restaurants serving traditional French food like steak and chips or coq au vin are closing at a rate of about 25 a day. The main problem: they've become too expensive.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by John Laurenson Sound mix: Toby JamesBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

“They have said in private conversation through Oman that they're interested to have this matter being resolved through peaceful means. But at the same time, one can question why the American forces are building up around Iran, why they are using threats, why they resorting to intimidation.”Lyse Doucet speaks to Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iran's deputy foreign minister, in an interview recorded before the second round of talks with the US. The talks are aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions that have crippled the country's economy.The latest round of talks follow US-led military strikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure last summer, amid growing concerns that Tehran was pursuing nuclear weapons.US President Trump has threatened further strikes if a deal cannot be reached, with the US building up its military presence in the region. As concerns grow over the slow pace of current negotiations, the US says Iran is to blame.The talks also come against a backdrop of ongoing nationwide protests against the Islamic regime in Tehran. According to human rights groups, thousands have been killed by the government in an attempt to quell the uprising.

In our first edition of Meet the Founders, we meet Luana Lopes Lara, creator of Kalshi, a prediction markets startup that allows users to trade on the outcome of real-world events - from inflation and interest rates to elections and geopolitics.Kalshi drew attention for showing Zohran Mamdani as a favourite in the NYC mayoral race, as prediction markets gain traction as political barometers. But the wider industry has also faced scrutiny: a trader on rival platform Polymarket reportedly made nearly half a million dollars betting on the capture of Venezuela's former president Nicolás Maduro before it was announced. The controversy around prediction markets has placed Lopes Lara and her company at the centre of a growing regulatory and ethical debate in the US. In this episode, the Brazilian founder explains how the discipline and resilience of ballet has shaped her approach to building a business, and why she believes markets can often forecast the future better than experts.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Sam Fenwick Producer: Amber Mehmood Sound mix: Toby JamesBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

El foco del mercado se dirige casi por completo a los resultados presentados por Alphabet tras el cierre de la sesión. La compañía tecnológica registró un beneficio neto de 122.000 millones de dólares, lo que representa un avance del 32% frente al mismo periodo del año anterior. Este desempeño se apoya principalmente en el crecimiento de los ingresos, que en el último ejercicio marcaron un récord histórico de 374.000 millones de dólares, con un aumento interanual del 15%. Dentro de esta evolución, la publicidad y las suscripciones de YouTube volvieron a ser claves, al generar cerca de 55.000 millones de dólares. En el cuarto trimestre, los analistas siguieron de cerca el desempeño de Google Cloud, que superó expectativas con un crecimiento interanual del 48%. La división de nube se ve impulsada por Gemini, su agente de inteligencia artificial, que ya alcanza 750 millones de usuarios activos mensuales y consolida su posición estratégica dentro del grupo tecnológico global. La inteligencia artificial concentró gran parte del interés del mercado. Sundar Pichai, consejero delegado de Alphabet, señaló durante la presentación que el grupo prevé destinar entre 175.000 y 185.000 millones de dólares en 2026 a inversiones en chips, servidores y centros de datos. Esta cifra superó ampliamente las previsiones de Bloomberg, que apuntaban a 95.000 millones, y explicaría las caídas del valor en el mercado fuera de hora, generando nuevas dudas sobre la financiación futura de estos ambiciosos planes. Pese a ello, Pichai calificó el trimestre como excepcional. También destacó Waymo, la unidad de conducción autónoma, cuyas pérdidas operativas superan los 3.000 millones de dólares, aunque la empresa mantiene su apuesta. Alphabet anunció una ronda de financiación de 16.000 millones de dólares para Waymo, principalmente aportada por el grupo, lo que implicó un cargo extraordinario de 1.950 millones de euros y elevó su valoración hasta 126.000 millones de dólares, reforzando su papel como proyecto clave dentro de estrategia.

The Spanish government has announced plans to legalise the status of half a million undocumented migrants. Many arrive with student or tourist visas but overstay and start working on the black market. Migration is a polarising issue in western Europe, so why is Spain keen to hurry up the process of regularisation? One reason is that Spain's economy has been outstripping its European Union partners. In 2024 the economy grew by 3.5% but in sectors that struggle to recruit enough workers, so Spain wants its migrant population to work in a legal way to keep its economic momentum going. We meet some of the people the Spanish government wants to give legal status to and speak to organisations that are helping them to work legally.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, you can send us an email to businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Ashish SharmaBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

As governments cut back on how much they spend on global aid, the head of the Gates Foundation Mark Suzman speaks exclusively to Business Daily about how the world's poorest are being affected. He tells us world governments “should be embarrassed” that the Foundation has overtaken them to become the largest financial backer of the WHO.When governments reduce their air spend, the organisation inevitably becomes more prominent. But is there too much reliance on the Gates Foundation globally for an institution with little democratic accountability? And are its priorities the right ones?

It's probably the world's best-known coffee chain but just over a year ago, business wasn't doing well. Sales had slipped, customers were drifting away and the buzz had gone. Newly-arrived CEO Brian Niccols was handed a tough task: stop the fall and make the coffee shops somewhere people wanted to return to.

“Regardless of whether it's Trump or anybody else in the White House, we should expect something quite significant to be going on in terms of the United States' relationship with the rest of the world.”Amol Rajan speaks to Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University, about a new era of global power play. In this conversation, she traces the roots of the re-birth of US expansionism back to the 19th century, and America's early presidents.

Our guest today is a legend in the world of entrepreneurship. He began his adult life as an immigrant student in the US, way back in the 1960s. He started his own company in the US tech space at a time when Indian-Americans were not particularly known for entrepreneurship.  In 1987, he became the first Indian-American founder to take a venture-backed company public on the Nasdaq. He was also the first Indian-American to serve as a top executive in a multi-billion-dollar Silicon Valley giant, blazing a trail that would be followed by the likes of Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella. Subsequently, he set up The IndUS Enterpreneurs (TiE) a non-profit to mentor entrepreneurs in the US and India. He has been a hugely successful venture capitalist and angel investor. And now, at the sprightly young age of 80, he is out with a memoir  that talks about his entrepreneurial journey: ‘The Ground Breaker: Risks, Rewards, and Lessons from a legendary Entrepreneur'.

Grok, the chatbot made by Elon Musk's xAI, is able to make all manner of AI-generated images on demand, including non-consensual intimate images of women and minors. It's the kind of "controversy" that would have completely sunk a platform five or 10 years ago, but now it seems clear that Elon wants Grok to be able to do this. A lot of people feel like someone should be able to do something about a one-click harassment machine like this. But who has that power, and what they can do with it, is a deeply complicated question,tied up in the thorny mess of history that is content moderation and the legal precedents that underpin it. So I invited Riana Pfefferkorn, from the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, to come talk me through it.

Nick Robinson speaks to Polish President Karol Nawrocki about Trump, Russia and the future of Europe.A historian and a boxer by background, he was elected in June 2025 with the support of Poland's conservative opposition Law and Justice Party.A social conservative and devout Catholic, he is also an outspoken critic of the European Union and staunch supporter of Donald Trump, believing that the US President is the only person who can stop the threat to Europe from Vladimir Putin's Russia: "Europe for a number of years was involved in not so important things, in ideological issues such as Green Deal for instance, climate policy, migration issues. It was not building its resilience and its security."The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

Will the boom in artificial intelligence continue in 2026? We hear how the world's biggest companies are jockeying for position in the race to dominate the field. After a year of record spending on AI, we look at how sustainable that type of investment might be in the year ahead. Plus - what gadgets could become mainstream in 2026?

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.For the last 4 weeks, and in this final week—going through Advent, Christmas, and heading into the New Year—we are praying for the conversion of various tech leaders who are spearheading AI. We are also praying that, alongside any potential benefits that may come from AI, the evil that may result from it may be mitigated for the sake of the salvation of souls.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google.Since we are now in the season of Christmas and Epiphany, we suggest a Holy Hour before the Holy Eucharist for Altman's conversion.In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

SpaceX, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA ... EVERYONE is talking about datacenters in space. Well one little startup based in Redmond, WA beat them all to the punch, it's Starcloud who just launched an NVIDIA H100 into space and ran gemini on it successfully! The datacenter in space era is upon us! With a valuation likely in the hundreds of millions this is a prime buyout candidate for any of the major tech giants. Sundar Pichai, Satya, Sam Altman at OpenAI even Elon Musk at SpaceX, will all be using Space datacenters and launching them soon. Why not jump ahead and acquire the 20 smartest satellite engineers in the world by swooping up Starcloud?

They've quietly avoided conflict while seeking favor with ornate gifts, large donations to his pet projects and strategic deployments of CEOs to the Oval Office.That's what made Costco's decision last week to sue the Trump administration so shocking.Costco filed a lawsuit that contends Trump overstepped his emergency powers by imposing sweeping tariffs – and claimed the company is due a refund.Biden commerce secretary to join Costco board as company sues over Trump's tariffsCostco board now 50/50Gina Raimondo led the agency responsible for crafting U.S. trade policy during all four years of Democrat Joe Biden's presidency.Rhodes Scholar Raimondo led Biden's Commerce Department; former governor of Rhode Island (2015-2021)AT&T Commits to Drop DEI Programs and GoalsIn the letter, AT&T makes a series of commitments, including stating that:“AT&T does not and will not have any roles focused on DEI”“we removed training related to “diversity, equity and inclusion” as well as any references to it from our internal and external messaging”“It is AT&T's longstanding practice to pay and advance individuals based on merit and qualification”From Brendan Carr's tweet: NEW on DEI: AT&T has now memorialized its commitment to ending DEI-related policies in an FCC filing and “will not have any roles focused on DEI.” This follows the big changes @robbystarbuck already announced earlier this year.AT&T promised the government it won't pursue DEI.

December 3, 2025: Today's episode breaks down six major shifts shaping the future of work: companies turning frontline employees into TikTok influencers, robotics transforming scientific labs into fully automated discovery engines, and the rapid rise of career minimalism as workers reject traditional career ladders. Instagram orders a full five-day return to the office while eliminating recurring meetings, Sundar Pichai warns that AI will disrupt every profession—including his own—and new research from Anthropic reveals how AI is reshaping engineering work from the inside. These stories show how culture, technology, and talent expectations are being rewritten in real time.
