The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: The Rise of Legal Sports Betting

The legal sports betting industry has really taken off in the last few years, ever since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a ban. A recent Pew Research Center survey found about 1 in 5 U.S. adults say they’ve bet money on sports in the last year and the majority of states have now legalized some form of sports betting. What are the potential benefits and consequences of this type of gambling? 

We’re getting two interesting perspectives today. Later, you’ll hear from Mike Raffensperger, an executive at one of the biggest players in the sports betting world: FanDuel. But first, you’ll hear from Dr. Timothy Fong, an addiction psychiatrist and the co-director of the Gambling Studies Program at UCLA.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Can China?s GDP data be trusted?

This week, China released its third quarter GDP figure. At 3.9%, its rate of economic growth is better than many analysts expected, but still significantly short of the 5.5% target the Chinese government had set itself.

There was an unprecedented delay in releasing this particular GDP stat - and that delay coincided with the 20th Chinese Communist Party congress. President Xi Jinping was reappointed for a historic third term at the twice-a-decade gathering.

Some analysts found the delay suspicious. Did President Xi postpone the release of the GDP figures so it wouldn?t tarnish the congress? And can the figure of 3.9 per cent be trusted anyway?

Paul Connolly investigates with the help of John Burn Murdoch, Chief Data Reporter at The Financial Times; Associate Professor of Government at Cornell, Jeremy Lee Wallace and Dr Linda Yueh, Oxford University economist and author.

Presenter and Producer: Paul Connolly Editor: Simon Watts Programme Coordinator: Jacqui Johnson Sound Engineer: Neva Missirian
