  • Business Daily meets: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
    It was a significant moment when Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was declared president of Liberia in 2005 - Africa's first elected female head of state. Although she made significant progress in promoting peace and development - which earned her a Nobel Peace Prize - her accomplishments were overshadowed by allegations of corruption and nepotism. She discusses her journey, which includes both achievements and controversies; what she would have done differently; and the various economic challenges that African countries are facing today. If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, email [email protected]: Rahul Tandon Producer: Amber Mehmood(Picture: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf speaks after receiving the "Lifetime Achievement Award" during the Forbes 30/50 Summit International Women's Day Awards Gala 2024 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

  • Singapore at 60: Raffles and the Republic
    We take a tour of one of the world's most famous luxury hotels, the Raffles in Singapore. Raffles' 83-year-old resident historian Leslie Danker tells us about some of the famous guests who have stayed in the Beach Road suites, including the author Somerset Maugham. But with Sikh doormen manning the lobby and a cocktail bar designed to evoke the days when British miners and planters dominated the local economy, the hotel can be read as an unapologetic celebration of the country's colonial era. As Singapore marks 60 years of independence, does it matter how hotels - and tourists - frame the past?If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, please email [email protected] and produced by Vivienne Nunis(Picture: Leslie Danker, resident historian at the Raffles Hotel, Singapore.)

  • The quiet power behind smart tech
    WiFi, Bluetooth, and mobile networks are familiar names in wireless communication - but there’s a fourth contender transforming everything from city water systems to African wildlife conservation. LPWAN - or Low Power Wide Area Network technology - is used when you need to send small amounts of data over long distances, using very little power. We head to rural Portugal where it's used for solar and water systems, and from conservation parks in Africa to find out how this low-cost network could become the most influential wireless tech of them all.Produced and presented by Alastair Leithead(Image: An adult female Iberian Lynx named Lava with GPS tracking collar on January 12, 2023 in Toledo, Spain.

    France, the world's second-biggest arms exporter, is expected to double military spending in the next two years.
