After MH370 and MH17, what does the history of past aeroplane disasters tell us about Malaysia Airlines' commercial prospects? Manuela Saragosa speaks to David Learmount, operations and safety editor at the UK aerospace publishing group Flightglobal. Also in the programme, what can the lowly flip-flop tell us about the functioning of the global economy? We ask author and sociology professor Caroline Knowles. And Rahul Tandon reports from Calcutta on the role being played by soap operas in India in bridging the widest of international divides.
