The boss of German asset manager DWS has resigned after a raid over alleged greenwashing. A former employee had suggested the company was selling investment funds as green when they weren't. DWS denies the claims, and we find out more from Steve Arons, who has been following the story for Bloomberg in Frankfurt. And we hear about wider concerns over the recent growth of ESG, or environmental, social and governance considerations in business, from Magdalene Senn of the non-governmental organisation Finance Wende in Berlin. Also in the programme, as tourists begin to return to Nepal, following the lifting of Covid-19 travel restrictions, the 大象传媒's Anbarasan Ethirajan reports from the capital Kathmandu on challenges faced by the sector, after most employees left during the pandemic. Motorcycle taxis, or okada, are normally a common sight on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria's commercial hub. But they've been banned from today in large parts of the city, and Abisola Owolawi, who is a business correspondent at the Nigerian TV channel Arise News tells us what's behind the move. Plus the 大象传媒's Elizabeth Hotson reports on the enduring popularity of the British drink, gin and tonic, and asks whether it can maintain its place in the British psyche in the face of the rising trend for vodka and tequila.

Today's edition is presented by Rob Young, and produced by Sarah Hawkins, Elizabeth Hotson and Hannah Bewley.
