Amid damage and loss of life, Tuesday's explosion puts Lebanon's economy under more pressure. Nadine Majzoub of the Honest Truth Media Hub in Beirut tells us about the likely implications. Also in the programme, the recent Black Lives Matter protests, sparked by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May, have reinvigorated efforts to attract disillusioned African Americans to visit and build a new life in Ghana. And we'll have a regular look at the US markets with Susan Schmidt of Aviva Investors. Plus, the long-awaited new instalment of the Twilight book series is published, awakening fans' nostalgia for the billion-dollar vampire franchise. Boston Globe arts critic Meredith Goldstein takes us through the anticipation, and tells us if the wait was worth it.
