The American film producer Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of sexual assault and rape by a jury in New York. Rebecca Gill, Director of the Women's Research Institute at the University of Nevada, gives us her reaction. A spike in cases of coronavirus in Italy has fuelled concerns of a possible pandemic. Professor Michele Geraci, until recently the undersecretary of state at the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, discusses the possible economic implications of parts of Italy being put into lockdown. Worldwide stock markets saw sharp falls because of concerns of the coronavirus. Peter Jankovskis of Oakbrook Investments in Chicago watched the day's trading on Wall Street. Fake news stories about the cause of coronavirus are putting social media companies under pressure to stop the spread of malicious content. We hear from Alistair Brian, lead fact checker with the website Ferret, which uncovers false news online. And a picture is worth a thousand words - at least according to Graham Shaw, who advises businesses that using drawings and diagrams is the best way to get your message across in a presentation or meeting.

All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show. Eleanor Jones, a former technology consultant and founder of Skintelligent, in Singapore. And Professor Peter Morici, an economist at the University of Maryland, who's in Washington DC.
