Thousands gather at historic civil rights march

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Thousands gather at historic civil rights march

After the summer of unrest in the US, demonstrators rally to demand racial justice

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Washington DC demanding racial justice and equality 57 years after the original civil rights march headed by Martin Luther King. We hear from Edith Lee Payne, who was there as a 12 year old and whose photo is one of the most iconic ones taken at the 1963 march for jobs and freedom.

Also on the programme, we go to New Zealand, asking how the county is faring as they come out of a second coronavirus lockdown and deal with what appears to be a four-day cyber attack on their stock exchange.

Plus, as workplaces begin getting back to a new normal, experts say there’s an opportunity to completely rethink how we care for family members in order to benefit them and the wider economy.

And, the Central Bank of Jamaica have released a song about price stability. Tony Morrison, their songwriter and director of communications, explains why.

How organisers of one of the world's biggest street parties - the Notting Hill Carnival - are determined the show will still go on, despite coronavirus.
