Impact of electricity power cuts on hotels

This week on OS we are going to look at the effects of the energy crisis on developing economies around the world. Today we'll hear how electricity power cuts impact hotels. We'll hear from 2 hotel owners, in Nigeria and Sri Lanka, both dealing with daily power failures, and we hear that in Nigeria, there is no electricity for up to 12 hours a day.

Also on the programme, we hear about the secretive executions of prisoners in Saudi Arabia, with no advance warning to their families. Our correspondent has been following the story and has spoken to one family member who had no notice their relative was about to be killed.

We also go to Canada, and hear about the new drug initiative in the province of British Columbia. It's starting a first-in-the-nation trial decriminalising small amounts of hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
