Texas delays re-opening its businesses after coronavirus cases spike – we speak with the Texas Chamber of Commerce. The makers of the weedkiller Roundup have reached a settlement over claims that one of its ingredients, glyphosate, causes cancer – we speak to one farmer who explains why he is disappointed, and the victorious lawyer who represented those who say they were harmed by using the weedkiller. Also, we look at illegal lockdown parties where drugs and alcohol fuel long nights and irritated neighbours. Finally, PHD researcher Somia Bibi talks about the economics of skin shades, as moisturiser Fair and Lovely says it will rebrand; we explore the cultural experiences of beauty. We discuss all this with Jasper Kim, from Ewah Women's University in Seoul and Paddy Hirsch, editor of the NPR podcast the Indicator from Planet Money.
