On day two of congressional hearings in Washington over the failure of Facebook, Twitter and Google to block Russian propaganda during last year's US presidential election campaign, senior corporate lawyers got a roasting from angry senators. We hear from Buzzfeed's Alex Kantrowitz.

We cross to India and hear why the World Bank says it is getting easier to do business there. And we have a report on the development of a more sympathetic kind of robotic intelligence.

We are joined throughout the programme by Sushma Ramachandran, the former Business Editor of The Hindu, and Alison van Diggelen, host of freshdialogues.com.
