In the first of two special programmes from the Philippines we find out how an increasingly hostile climate is taking a heavy toll on its crucial agricultural sector. Two years after typhoon Haiyan we meet farmers forced to turn to loan sharks to avoid starvation and find out how they are bracing themselves for what could be the most severe El Nino in decades.

Plus, how do you make it rain? We hear from a senior scientist at PAGASA, the Philippines' national weather bureau, about how the country's air force "seeds" clouds. And we talk to the Manila residents who say they have been forced out of their homes as the city prepares to welcome world leaders for next week's APEC Summit.

Also, we look at the impacts of the falling global price of steel, and ask whether Myanmar's election will make it easier for companies looking to do business there.

Plus, the boss of Africa's biggest mobile company, MTN, has resigned after the firm received a $5.2bn fine from Nigeria.
