Snoop Dogg acquires Death Row Records - a podcast by BBC World Service

US rapper Snoop Dogg has acquired Death Row Records, the label that launched his career. We find out more from MK Asante of Morgan State University, who wrote the book It's Bigger Than Hip Hop. Also in the programme, the Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse has reported a loss of $2.2bn for the final quarter of last year. Owen Walker is European banking correspondent at the Financial Times, and explains the background to the company's woes. The International Court of Justice in the Hague has ordered Uganda to pay the Democratic Republic of the Congo more than $300m in compensation for invading and occupying the mineral-rich Ituri province between 1998 and 2003. But as the BBC's Robert Misigaro explains, it's not clear whether the compensation will be forthcoming. Plus, the BBC's Ivana Davidovic reports on why the use of robots has risen by 40% in North American workplaces since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Today's edition is presented by Rahul Tandon, and produced by Sarah Hawkins, George Thomas and Gabriele Shaw.
