Tianjin Compensation Demands Grow

The cleanup underway in Tianjin has raised questions of who's to blame - and how much compensation will be paid. And could this new book help parents send young children to sleep?

A huge clean-up operation is now under way in Tianjin to deal with what's left of the deadly chemical, Sodium Cyanide, that was being stored in the warehouse and caused the blast. The Economist Intelligence Unit's Duncan Innes-Ker talks to us about the response from the Chinese authorities so far.
Also, Sri Lanka's election is a tale of political come-backs and bitter rivalry. We ask what the result will mean for the country's economic future. Also, do estate agents deserve a reputation re-vamp? And parents of young children pay attention...could this self-published book be the answer to your bedtime nightmares?
