Ebola and the race to develop vaccines

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As British drugs giant Glaxo Smith Kline admits it can't produce a vaccine to deal with the current ebola outbreak, we ask what incentives firms may need to tackle future threats to health. The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones reports on the esport phenomenon - gaming increasingly becoming a spectator sport. Marketplace's Kai Rysdall talks to Iraq veteran and counterinsurgency expert John Nagl about how the West should take on Islamic State. And we discuss the world's best and worst airports - and what makes them such. Presenter Jon Bithrey is joined live by Danny Samson from the University of Melbourne to discuss the day's stories.
