Business Matters: Expected election victory for Assad 5 Jun 14

Thu, 5 Jun 14

The BBC's Jeremy Bowen reports from Damascus, where supporters of President Bashar al Assad are celebrating his landslide1 victory in Syria's presidential election. We're at a gun raffle2 in Hendricks County, Indiana to find out why Americans get so hot and bothered about their Second Amendment3 rights. Nick Davis hangs out at the recording4 studios and dance halls of Kingston, Jamaica, looking at the clash between gangster5 culture and real gangsterism6. And senior US television executive, Steve Capus, the new Executive Editor of CBS, joins presenter7 Roger Hearing in the studio to discuss the extent of government snooping, one year to the day since Edward Snowdens revelations were published in The Guardian8 newspaper. In our New York bureau, former Federal Reserve official Andrew Huszar, and in Bangalore, Revathy Ashok, founder9 of the Political Action Committee campaign group.
