Stake and chips: will America take 10% of Intel?

This episode of The Intelligence from The Economist covers three distinct topics: the turmoil and future prospects of chipmaker Intel, the resurgence of political violence in Colombia following the assassination of a presidential contender, and the quirky tradition of snail racing in rural England and its unexpected revival through village fêtes. The discussion on Intel explores its decline, potential for recovery as a chip foundry, and possible government intervention. The segment on Colombia examines the implications of a political assassination on the country's fragile peace and upcoming elections. Finally, the snail racing segment offers a lighthearted look at a unique British tradition and the evolving dynamics of village life.
