Tue, 1 Jul 14

We hear from the left leaning American Civil Liberties Union and also from the Family Research Council on the religious right. In our New York bureau, Ben Casselman, Chief Economics Writer at FiveThirtyEight.com, discusses the $8.9bn fine levied4 against French bank BNP Paribas for busting5 US sanctions against countries like Iraq and Cuba. At home in India, Revathy Ashok of the Bangalore Political Action Committee, discusses the global problem of food wastage. Plus: what happens to a relationship when the woman earns more than the man? Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times gives us her view.
