The boss of Facebook is being questioned for a second day over the misuse of user data.

The boss of Facebook is being questioned for a second day by politicians over the misuse of user data. Could this mean that social media companies will face tougher regulation in future to tackle issues like fake news and foreign political interference? Michelle De Mooy, from the Center for Democracy and Technology in Washington DC, gives us her view. A snap presidential election is underway in the oil rich nation of Azerbaijan. Tural Ahmed-zade from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Azeri service tells us what's expected. The U.S. national debt currently stands at $21.1 trillion and one forecast says it will reach a level equivalent to 96% of the overall economy in a decade. We ask our regular economic commentator, Irwin Stelzer, whether he agrees with the prediction. And Arab Fashion Week is about to get underway in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, for the first time. In a country with strict rules on dress code, how will the event be received? New York Times fashion reporter, Elizabeth Paton, tells us more from the Saudi capital.
