Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito talks about his work in the videogame Far Cry 6.

Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito talks about his work in the videogame Far Cry 6, and we speak exclusively to Alan Rusbridger about his role on a new Facebook oversight board.

Facebook is facing battles on several fronts - a raft of big companies and now the labour party boycotting advertising on the platform because of the way FB is said to amplify division and hate speech; regular missteps over decisions over which content to ban and allow and indeed its handling of Trump's messaging.
It has always fought hard not to be treated as a media company but something had to give and its latest effort is to launch an 'Oversight Board' made up of luminaries from around the world. How will it work? Will it have any teeth? Or is it just a smokescreen - a sop to its critics?
We speak in depth to Alan Rusbridger who is one of the founder members.
Also, we have a project offering to print 3D printed masks, perfectly shaped to your face and the latest in the blockbuster games releases.
