Sierra Leone's Struggling Mining Sector

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Marie Keyworth is in Sierra Leone finding out if the industry can recover. Also in the programme, two economists battle it out in the great debate over Brexit. Roger Bootle of Capital Economics thinks the UK would be better off outside the European Union, and Graham Bishop, a former adviser to the UK parliament argues the case for remaining. And as Donald Trump takes a big stride towards becoming the Republican Presidential challenger, we ask our regular commentator Dr Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute whether his strategy will pay off.
