Saudi King's Death and Legacy

Available for over a year

As King Abdullah dies, we assess the changes he made to Saudi Arabia, and his alliance to the US. While parts of Africa begin a recovery from Ebola, we hear how local businesses have started trading again, but the long term economic repercussions are only beginning. Argentina's president claims that the man gathering evidence against her was murdered rather than committed suicide - we find out what this murky story has to do with oil. Should we be prepared for the collapse of North Korea? Expert Dr Jim Walsh tells us why we need to keep a look out for military and economic problems coming to a head in the country. Finally, how much artistic license should advertisers be given when promoting a product? We discuss the thin line between glamourising a product versus downright lying. Guests today are Tony Nash from Asia Now Consulting group in Singapore, and Professor Ann Lee from New York University. Presented by Roger Hearing.
