About this episode

One of the AI industry's most important figures, the CEO of the chip-maker Nvidia Jensen Huang, has resigned amid allegations that he had extramarital affairs with a suspected Chinese spy and a fellow company executive. What could this cost Nvidia - and the whole AI sector? Also in the programme: a historic senate victory in Mississippi; as US negotiators meet President Putin to discuss the latest peace initiative, the people of Ukraine prepare for another miserable winter; and Manchester United sack another head coach - what does this mean for the once-great behemoth?
