WTA suspends China tennis tournaments - a podcast by BBC World Service

Amid concern about tennis player Peng Shuai, the WTA has suspended its China tennis events. We explore the financial implications with Dr Dan Plumley, lecturer in sport finance at Sheffield Hallam University. Also in the programme, 20 years on from the collapse of the US energy giant Enron, the BBC's Lesley Curwen considers whether lessons have been learned from the fall of a corporate giant. Plus, the Omicron variant of coronavirus is causing concern for some companies about whether to proceed with Christmas party plans. We find out more from Alex Hewitt, chief executive of AOK Events, which plans parties for corporate clients.

Today's edition is presented by Rob Young, and produced by Gareth Barlow, Nisha Patel, Philippa Goodrich and Vishala Sri-Pathma.
