A big decision from a top European court on whether Uber is considered a tech or taxi company could have wider implications for other sharing start-ups.

We’ll talk to an economist in Sao Paulo about what that means for the country’s economic future. Afterwards, how Swedish vacation time is getting shorter and shorter thanks to technological intervention.
