The US electric car maker hasn't been selling as many of its Model 3s as it wants. We hear from John Thompson, CEO of Vilas Capital, one big US investor that has been selling its Tesla shares. Cambridge Analytica, the British political consultancy at the centre of a Facebook data-sharing scandal, has confirmed that it's shutting down with immediate effect. So, what happens now? A question for Issie Lapowsky, senior writer at Wired. Kim Gittleson in South Carolina reports on people going to prison for unpaid fines in US. Plus, a report from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development says employers in the UK are seeing more staff turning up to work while ill. Gary Johns, Professor of Management in the John Molson School of Business, Concordia University in Montreal tells us about the trend of 'presenteeism'. We're joined throughout the program by Miranda Johnson, South East Asia correspondent for The Economist, in Singapore and Kali Akuno, co-founder and co-director of Cooperation Jackson, and author of Jackson Rising: The Struggle for Economic Democracy and Black Self-Determination in Jackson, Mississippi.
