Companies Boycott Saudi Investor Conference

Companies and media organisations are boycotting an investor conference in Saudi Arabia

Companies and media organisations are boycotting an investor conference in Saudi Arabia. Amid rising concern about the disappearance in Turkey of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, we get analysis from Jeanne Whaley of the Washington Post. Also in the programme, we have reports from Indonesia on the challenges of providing clean water residents of the city of Bandung, and asking whether the growth of social media could be fueling a new rise in radicalism in the country. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Lisa Abramowicz of Bloomberg in New York, and Nina Trentmann of the Wall Street Journal in London.
