BBC World Service - World Business Report, Starbucks Closing US Stores for 'unconscious bias' training

A barista in Philadelphia had accused two black men of trespassing and called police

The coffee giant is taking the action after a barista in a Philadelphia branch accused two black men of trespassing and called the police. We hear from Heather McGhee of Demos who is involved with educating the baristas in racial equality. Also in the programme, six days of fuel strikes in Brazil have led to anger, disruption and finally concessions from the government. The BBC's South America Business Correspondent Daniel Gallas explains the background. On Memorial Day in America, we ask why are so many military veterans running for Congress this year? Authorities in Kenya have arrested the head of the National Youth Service on suspicion of involvement in a $100 million corruption scandal. We have a report from Mumbai, India, about a company paying the cost of egg-freezing for female staff. Plus our regular commentator Pilita Clark of the Financial Times explains why she thinks there is freedom and opportunity in being someone else's deputy.
