Facebook Chief Faces Congress

World Business Report

Available for over a year

As Mark Zuckerberg testifies before U.S. congress following the data-sharing crisis, we get analysis from Selina Wang, technology and business reporter at Bloomberg. 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. Plus we get a US financial markets update from Mark Kepner at Themis Trading in New Jersey. And British pop star Jessie J is currently riding a wave of fame in China, as a contestant on a reality TV music competition. Now, 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.
