Your Call: Media coverage of election hacking & Rex Tillerson's nomination

ExxonMobil chairman and chief executive Rex Tillerson, at a conference in Abu Dhabi last month with Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State and chief executive of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company

  On this week's media roundtable, we’ll discuss ongoing coverage of Russia’s possible intervention in the US presidential election. We’ll also look at ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson and his transition from the boardroom to the State Department.

Most of the attention has been on his relationship with Russia, but the company has also done business in more than 23 countries, including Chad, Saudi Arabia and Iraqi Kurdistan. Join us live at 10 am, on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:

Antonia Juhasz, oil and energy expert, award winning investigative journalists, and author of  Black Tide: The Devastating Impact of the Gulf Oil Spill
