Junior investment bankers at Morgan Stanley are about to get a €15,000 pay rise, bringing their salaries to €100,000.

It is the latest Wall Street bank to increase staff salaries following complaints about the industry’s gruelling working conditions.

At the same time Scarlett Johansson claims Disney deprived her of $50 million in earnings by releasing ‘Black Widow’ both in cinemas and on streaming.
