The fate of the airline industry in the pandemic mean it will have to make serious changes to survive – job cuts and government bailouts are weighing heavily on industry minds, says our airlines expert. Facebook bows to legal pressure from Bangkok, and blocks access in Thailand to a group illegally discussing the future of the monarchy. And fast food chain KFC drops its famous 'Finger Licking Good' advertising slogan during the pandemic. We discuss all this with Mitchell Hartman in Portland, Oregon – he is a senior reporter for Marketplace radio in the US, and Sarah Birke, a Foreign correspondent for The Economist in Tokyo.
