As Saudi Arabia, backed by Egypt and several Gulf states, starts an air campaign against Houthi rebels in Yemen we get the latest from Fuad Abd-al-Razak of BBC Arabic. Plus, the world's biggest oil-field services company, Schlumberger, is fined more than 230 million dollars - for violating sanctions against Iran and Sudan. Also in the programme, with Nigeria's election looming, we'll hear the political argument brewing over corruption in the country. We hear from the Boao Forum - China's version of the World Economic Forum, as it gets underway on the island of Hainan. Joining us for the duration of the programme is our guest Peter Morici of the University of Maryland in Washington DC.
