The US Justice Department is investigating Malaysia's state fund 1MDB. We ask Louise Story from the New York Times why American officials are interested in alleged corruption on the other side of the world. Also in the programme, the 麻豆社's Fergus Nicoll reports from the Republican Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, where Donald Trump has been formally nominated as the Republican presidential candidate. Plus the mobile phone taxi app Uber faces a legal challenge in the UK, where it is alleged to be breaking employment laws.
