Massive blast in Ghana


Listen Later

We start the programme in Ghana where there's been a huge explosion close to the town of Bogoso. Afua Adom from Metro TV gives us insight on the accident from Accra. There's been a dramatic consequence of last week's submarine volcanic eruption and resulting tsunami in Tonga. The government of Peru says it's now grappling with the country's worst ecological disaster in years - because the tsunami prompted an oil spill at a refinery on the coast at Ventanilla. Simeon Tegel, a freelance reporter based in Lima speaks with us. What's it like for a business operating in the midst of one of the world's geo-political hot spots? We speak with Oleg Chernyak who works for a software development company, CHI Software, near the eastern border with Russia. Rising food and fuel prices are making daily life tougher for the people of Sri Lanka. Anbarasan Ethirajan reports from Columbo. It has been one of the success stories of the pandemic but is the show over for Netflix. It has just released its results for the fourth quarter and its missed its subscriber targets – we speak with Liz Duff from Total Media. Throughout the programme we’re joined by Andres Franzetti - Chief Executive Officer at Risk Cooperative and Dimuthu Attanayake - a Journalist and Researcher (big data & policy) from Sri Lanka.
