WBR: Ferguson violence continues 19 Aug 14

Tue, 19 Aug 14

With the violence in Ferguson, Missouri, showing no signs of abating1 we ask what can be done to tackle the economic and racial inequality that's partly fuelling the protests. We talk to Ronald Jackson, chairman of St Louis Black Leadership Roundtable. We're also in Scotland, where the race is on to sway the hearts and minds of small business owners who have yet to decide whether to vote yes or no in the upcoming independence vote. Also in the programme, a comedian's thoughts on Facebook's experiment with a new 'satire2' button to tell users which articles in news feeds are real. Plus a report from New York about the influx3 of wealthy Chinese investors4 buying property there.
