When the son comes up: the Murdoch succession battle

This episode of The Intelligence from The Economist covers three distinct topics: the succession of Lachlan Murdoch to control Fox Corporation and News Corp, the growing epidemic of the synthetic drug "kush" in West Africa, particularly Sierra Leone, and an obituary of Giorgio Armani, the famous fashion designer. The discussion on Lachlan Murdoch explores his background, the deal that secured his position, and his potential future direction for the media companies. The segment on "kush" details its devastating effects, its composition, and the challenges in combating its spread. Finally, the obituary of Giorgio Armani remembers his attention to detail, his impact on fashion, and his influence from cinema.
