Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, makes his case to become the next president of the US in a live streamed event from a virtual democratic convention; what can we expect and how succesful has the convention been in firing up voters? Business and superstition has a surprisingly interlinked history, as we learn why people are so scared that the ravens may fly away from the famous Tower of London. Ride-hailing apps Lyft and Uber win a last minute reprieve from the California state government, which wants the firms to classify drivers as employees – giving them more rights - the companies had threatened to pull out of the state. We discuss all this live with Erin Delmore, a political reporter from New York and Sushma Ramachandran, business journalist and columnist for The Tribune newspaper in New Delhi.
