Opposition to European Super League gathers momentum

The Duke of Cambridge says he shares fans' concerns about the damage the ESL could cause

We examine the business case behind the creation of a new football European Super League. Guillaume Ballage is a Spanish football journalist, and tells us why a dozen clubs from England, Spain and Italy are running the risk of upsetting their fans with this new venture. We also speak to lawyer Trevor Watkins about the potential legal challenges to the plan.
The Bank of England is to look at the possibility of launching a digital currency. Several other countries have similar plans, but what exactly is a central digital currency and how does it work? We speak to Josh Lipsky, director of the GeoEconomics Center at the Atlantic Council think tank.
Plus, the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV's arts correspondent Vincent Dowd discusses Marvel Studios' upcoming film, due to be released this autumn, which features an Asian actor in the lead role.

Jamie Robertson is joined throughout the programme by Peter Morici, economics professor at the University of Maryland in Washington DC, and by financial professional Jessica Khine in Malaysia.
