Facebook bans pages aimed at US election interference

Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.

Facebook says it has removed accounts suspected of influencing the US political agenda. Our technology correspondent in San Francisco, Dave Lee, gives us the latest. Also, global car exporting nations have met in Geneva to discuss the threat of new US auto tariffs. We find out more from our correspondent in Geneva, Imogen Foulkes. We also hear the perspective of the American automotive industry from Paul Eisenstein, publisher of The Detroit Bureau. Blueprints for 3D-printed guns, published online four days early amid last-minute attempts to ban them, have been downloaded thousands of times. We speak to Tiffany Tsu is a business reporter for the New York Times and Congressman Eliot Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Plus, we ask what makes a tune the song of the summer?
