Facebook Reveals Scale of Abuse

For the first time, Facebook is detailing the amount of hateful content on its site.

For the first time, Facebook is detailing the amount of hateful content on its site. We look at the scale of the challenge the social network faces, and get analysis from Luc Delany, former European policy manager at Facebook. Also in the programme, the British retail brand New Look is under fire for charging more for clothes for larger people. Sarah Shannon is a London-based journalist covering retail and fashion, and brings us the details. As the row over exactly how Britain should leave the European Union continues, we examine the current state of play with pro-Brexit Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, and the anti-Brexit leader of the opposition Liberal Democrats, Sir Vince Cable. Plus we have the first in a series of pieces looking at the workplace from contributors around the world. This week, Heather McGregor, who is dean of the Heriot Watt Business School, considers the art of negotiation.
