## Resource

With Microsoft announcing nearly five thousand job cuts, and XBOX bearing the brunt of the losses, we look at what's changing in the world of gaming and hear from former Xbox executive Peter Moore on how it might affect some of the globe's most popular computer games. Meanwhile, as NATO leaders prepare to haggle in Turkey over defence spending, we get advice from Sweden's former Prime Minister Carl Bindt on how countries balance their budgets against growing security demands. Also on the programme, Andrew Peach discusses the growing concern around political interference in football after FIFA's shock decision to overturn United States forward Folarin Balogun's suspension for a red card offence. And as World Cup games in Mexico come to an end, Mexico City's tourism minister Alejandra Frausto Guerrero talks about the country's hope for a boost in tourism. The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the BBC. (Picture: A teenager holding a controller to play a video game on a Microsoft Xbox One console, in Corfe Mullen, Dorset, UK.
