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, exacerbated by the deadly port blast of a year ago that killed more than 200 people. 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 campaign. 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.
