BBC World Service - World Business Report, Fears of a new housing crisis in the US

Tens of millions of Americans could be at risk of losing their homes.

Tens of millions of Americans are said to be facing the loss of their homes, after losing their jobs because of the coronavirus. We take an in-depth look at the issue and hear from a mother of young children who fears eviction could be just weeks away. A new law has come into force in France making face masks compulsory in the workplace. French businesses tell us how it will affect them. Facebook has threatened to stop allowing Australians to share news content if lawmakers allow media companies to demand payment from digital platforms. Karen Percy of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation explains what ministers want to do. And our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare tells us about becoming a yoga teacher during lockdown and its impact on her organisational skills.
