BBC World Service - Weekend, Banks fear Hong Kong violence

International banks in Hong Kong worried about violence impact; Prince Andrew speaks

International banks based in Hong Kong say they're worried about the impact of escalating violence:  We hear from protesters on why their anger hasn't subsided.

Also in the programme:  The Duke of York, the second son of Queen Elizabeth, has spoken to the BBC about his links with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who took his own life in August.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Alex von Tunzelmann, British historian and film scriptwriter; and Giles Kenningham, founder of the Trafalgar Strategy political consultancy based in London and a director of communications for the UK Conservative Party’s general election campaign in 2015.
