Key Points
News announced late last night shows that US sports streaming company DAZN may buy UK’s BT Sport for an estimated $800m. This would give the company access to sought-after rights to stream English Premier League (EPL) matches, according to Reuters.
Tesla Inc (TSLA) will launch its much-hyped Cybertruck at the start of 2023, a source told Reuters.
North Korea has fired two ballistic missiles today, this was its third in less than two weeks and came just hours after critiquing new US imposed sanctions, which have been authorised by President Joe Biden.
