TotalEnergies and Chevron leave Myanmar

French and American energy giants TotalEnergies and Chevron are pulling out of Myanmar.

French and American energy giants TotalEnergies and Chevron are pulling out of Myanmar. They've cited deteriorating human rights in the wake of last year's coup in the country. We find out more from Gareth Leather, who is on the emerging markets team at Capital Economics. Also in the programme, an investment of more than 400 million dollars by the mining firm Rio Tinto on a potential lithium venture in Serbia appears to have come to nothing. The 大象传媒's Guy Delaunay explains why. After the British culture secretary warned that the way the 大象传媒 is funded may be coming to an end in the next few years, the 大象传媒's Rob Young explores the way public service broadcasters are funded around the world. Plus, the singer Adele has been forced to cancel a series of gigs, or residency, in Las Vegas at the last minute. Mark Mulligan of entertainment analysis company MIDiA Research tells us about the attraction to artists of the residency format.

Today's edition is presented by Fergus Nicoll, and produced by Will Bain, Sara Parry and Philippa Goodrich.
