Barclays Bank is under fire over its decision to halt money transfer services in Somalia. It says it is guarding against money laundering. But how will this decision affect ordinary Somalis who rely on money sent from abroad? Also, we hear from Liberia where farmers says they have been pushed out by palm oil - and from Indonesia where they say clearing for palm oil is creating a smoking wasteland. Our guest in Singapore, financial analyst David Kuo, from the website Motley Fool, tells us how bad the haze is. We investigate why financial markets in the US and China both had a touch of the jitters. And, if you want to be a success at work, our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway has some helpful hints at self-improvement. Plus, we look at the messy business of divorce - can it be made less messy and if so how? Our guest Michelle Crosby, CEO of Wevorce, thinks her company has the answer.
