The African Fuel Crisis

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Justin Rowlatt speaks to the editor of Africa Energy, Jon Marks, about the very different reasons why many African countries are in the grip of fuel crises. We hear from people in Malawi who are grappling with a lack of fuel on a day to day basis. And as the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off this weekend, the BBC's business editor Robert Peston explores what football managers can teach the world's chief executives. And regular Business Daily commentator, Steve Fritzinger, takes issue with the conventional wisdom that machines always rob humans of jobs.
