Mark Zuckerberg Testifies Before Congress

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As Mark Zuckerberg testifies before the U.S. congress following the data-sharing crisis, we get analysis from Sarah Frier, technology reporter for Bloomberg. Since India became independent in 1947, the whole country has operated under a uniform time zone - Indian Standard Time or IST. Is it time for a change? Rahul Tandon reports. We cast the net a little wider to draw in some of the business headlines from elsewhere in the world and cross to Andrew Wood in Hong Kong. Volkswagen is expected to make big changes at the top and investors have already reacted, with shares jumping on the news. David Bailey, Professor of industry from Aston Business School, looks at how the company could revive its fortunes following the emissions cheating scandal. Representatives from the British music industry have launched a Chinese trade mission, hoping to promote other acts there too. We ask Jake Newby, managing editor at Shanghai based culture website radiichina.com, whether they will be able to capitalise on Jessie J's success. And joining us throughout the programme is Nancy Marshall-Genzer of Marketplace, she's with us from Washington DC. And Sushma Ramachandran, the former Business Editor of The Hindu is with us from Delhi.
