BBC World Service - Business Matters, Pressure mounts on California Governor Newsom, as recall petition gains momentum

Governor facing recall petition over his handling of the Coronavirus pandemic response.

The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is under mounting pressure from a petition which could see him recalled from his role. According to petition organisers, more than a million people have signed the petition, angry at his handling of the pandemic. Nathaniel Rakich, elections analyst at FiveThirtyEight.com breaks it all down for us. 
Also on the programme; the boss of one of the world's biggest mining firms, Anglo-American's chief executive Mark Cutifani, speaks to us about a commodities boom as countries look to build their way out of the pandemic recession. We also hear from Adar Poonawalla, CEO of the Serum Institute of India one of the world's largest producers of vaccines, check in on young workers in London's financial district on whether their real working lives match the TV adaptations of life in finance, and hear about the rise and rise of online seller Etsy. 
Throughout the programme Fergus Nicoll will be joined from Los Angeles by NPR contributing editor Paddy Hirsch and from Mumbai by Bloomberg's bureau chief there, Jeanette Rodrigues.
