Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 5.6% amid concerns over a new security law proposed by China. Tara Joseph is president of the American Chamber of Commerce and believes fresh tension over Hong Kong's future could put trade relations between the US and China firmly back in the deep freeze. Also in the programme, with government debt in the United States expected to rise this year to the value of the country's entire GDP, the 大象传媒's Michelle Fleury considers the implications. Following a devastating cyclone which struck India and Bangladesh this week, claiming the lives of more than 80 people, the 大象传媒's Rahul Tandon examines the challenge now facing West Bengal, the Indian state worst affected by the disaster. Plus, we meet Ayanda Makayi, co-creator of a South African coronavirus era soap opera called Lockdown Heights, which has proven to be a hit on Facebook and Instagram, and is filmed entirely by actors in their own homes, on their smartphones.
