Description
With US interest rates expected to rise, we look at the impact on the global economy. Our regular economic commentator, Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute, gives us his take. Also in the programme, the Japanese car giant Toyota is investing $1bn in the Singapore-based ride sharing firm Grab. Vivek Vaidya is vice-president of technology at management consultants Frost and Sullivan, and tells us more about the deal. Following a dispute with Greece, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has agreed to change its name to the Republic of Northern Macedonia. Journalist Borjan Jovanovski explains why some are not happy about the deal. We travel to the Indian state of Kashmir to meet the people foraging for lucrative morel mushrooms. Plus fashion designer Stella McCartney explains why she's going green with her new fashion emporium.
