New releases from Michael Jackson

The World

Ten projects have reportedly been sold to Sony by the Michael Jackson estate. The lucrative deal is valued at somewhere between $200 million and $250 million dollars. This may mean the release of previously unheard music from the king of pop, but it may also mean we’ll see video games and other new uses for Jackson and his music.

BBC business correspondent, Duncan Bartlett, joins us to explain the deal.
