South Korea Votes to Impeach President

The parliament in South Korea has voted to impeach President Park Geun-hye over a corruption scandal.

The impeachment was supported by a thumping majority - 234 votes to 56 - meaning that some members of Ms Park's own party voted for impeachment. We talk to Professor Kathy Moon, Chair in Korea Studies in the Center for East Asia Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC. Meanwhile a Japanese firm buys the Fyffes banana company. And we interview the Kenyan entrepreneur hoping to cash in on the home-grown cosmetics market in Africa.
