WBR: Thai coup 22 May 14

Thu, 22 May 14

There's more chaos in Thailand as the military seizes power. We hear what a new outbreak of instability could mean for the country's struggling economy. The former Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky tells the BBC that western sanctions over Ukraine may only serve to inflame tensions in the region. We're in St Petersburg for 'Russia's Davos' - but given the breakdown in relations between Russia, Europe and the US, just how many western companies are turning up? More and more people are being priced out of the housing market in the UK - we have a report from the BBC's Theo Leggett and ask host of US programme Marketplace David Brancaccio what he makes of attitudes towards inequality in the UK and the United States. And we hear about the latest tech ideas from the Future in Review conference in Southern California.
