Second day of Hong Kong airport protests

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Hong Kong International Airport saw chaotic scenes on a second consecutive day of massive anti-government protests that have paralysed one of Asia's key transport hubs. The protests are part of the ten-week stretch of widespread demonstrations. So how are businesses dealing with the disruption and what is the impact on the economy? Our North America technology reporter Dave Lee looks into deep fakes - the latest form of online impersonation - and their potential to mislead. And we hear how lucid dreaming - being able to control your dreams - can improve your business decisions. All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: Alexis Goldstein, a financial reform advocate in Washington DC and David Kuo of The Motley Fool, in the studio in London.
