Can Netflix Solve Negative Cash Flow?

The online streaming service is spending extensively on new content and has promised investors it will grow its way out of cash flow problems.

The online streaming service is spending extensively on new content and has promised investors it will grow its way out of cash flow problems. With Disney moving into the streaming business, are those promises Netflix can keep? We hear how an online rebellion in China has forced one of the country's social media giants, Sina Weibo, to reverse its decision to ban content related to homosexuality. But does all this show the growing power of social media in bringing social change? We ask Jim Halloran, Chief Digital Officer, at the US LGBT media monitoring group GLAAD. Also in the programme, how would you like to have a quicker way to get through border control when you're travelling? The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Victoria Craig has been checking out iProov, a new kind of facial recognition technology that's set to be used at US borders. And we try out a new kind of chocolate - that's pink. We ask sweet consultant Andy Baxendale if there's any sense in pink chocolate. Roger Hearing is joined on the programme by Madhavan Narayanan, a Delhi-based writer, and Alexis Goldstein, activist and financial reform advocate, in Washington DC.
