On June 4, 1989, the Chinese government deployed the full power of its military to forcefully remove students who had been peacefully protesting in Tiananmen Square, killing anything from hundreds to thousands of people, in a historical event that is heavily censored by the Chinese government.
In China’s Artful Dissident, we meet exiled artist Badiucao, who uses his satirical art to protest China’s overwhelming human rights abuses and shine a light on the whitewashing of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

If HSBC were a country, it would be the fifth world economic power. But what if this power comes from moving dirty money around the world? From tax evasion to money laundering for the mafia and manipulation of currency, “this bank had done everything bad that a bank can possibly do."
Banksters examines corruption at HSBC, one of the world’s top financial institutions. It nearly lost its license to operate in the US for laundering money for drug cartels, but ended up being fined 2 billion euros – the equivalent of one month’s profits.

In a post #metoo era, The New York Times investigates the culture of sexualised yoga classes, often harbouring unsolicited physical contact that walk the line between "adjustments" and assault. The Weekly - Hands On explores why some of us are willing to overlook things that happen in a yoga studio that might not be acceptable outside of one, and why these practices have gone unexamined for so long.

“A lot of people are surprised when I speak Chinese, especially when I speak to suppliers. When I speak on the phone they’ll think I’m a Chinese girl, but when they actually meet me in person they go ‘Oh, you were the one I was talking to?’. Or I’ll go to a shop and speak in English or Malay and the shopkeeper serves other customers first because they’re more comfortable speaking the same language, then I’ll approach them again in Chinese and they immediately warm up to me. See, it’s these little things that show people’s stereotypes, so never judge a book by its cover. Speaking Chinese in school also helped me meet two of my best friends. I would definitely recommend for people to learn the language as an additional advantage.” Look #BeyondMYSurface here: https://bit.ly/2HfkmSp

“When I first started practicing Jiu-Jitsu in Malaysia, people didn’t really know what it was. They thought it was a strange sport with men wearing pyjamas. But now a lot of women do it as well, there are competitions, even the international community is more established. In a wider sense, martial arts is a lifestyle that gives you a lot of good principles that you can apply not just in work but in life. It’s not just exercise, it’s also something that no one can take away from you. It gives you self confidence. But at the same time you learn not to think too highly of yourself, because you can walk into a gym and find someone better than you, so it’s a continuous improvement. Be humble.” Look #BeyondMYSurface here: https://bit.ly/2HfkmSp
