Business Weekly

A year on from the deadly blast at the port of Beirut, Business Weekly looks at Lebanon鈥檚 floundering economy.

On this edition of Business Weekly, we look into Lebanon鈥檚 economy - a country going through the worst economic crisis since its civil war of the 70s and 80s, with severe disruption to basic services and food shortages. We also hear from Zambia, where the pandemic has meant the usual cash-rich tourists have stayed away, and the economy is dominating the general election campaigns. Plus, we look at another attempt to narrow the gender gap in science and engineering careers, by introducing female role models into toy dolls. Business Weekly is presented by Sasha Twining and produced by Matthew Davies.
