Thailand Mourns Death of King Bhumibol

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Thailand mourns the death of its long-serving monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej. He was a major unifying force, so could there be political and economic turbulence ahead? Christian Lewis, from the Eurasia Group, helps us assess the impact. We speak to film director and outspoken critic of fracking Josh Fox about his new documentary, 'How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change'. John Sopel continues his series of reflections on the US presidential election, summing up an extraordinary and controversial week in the campaign. Plus the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature goes to the musician Bob Dylan and it has divided opinion. We speak to Robert Sean Wilentz, the author of Bob Dylan in America. Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme from Hong Kong by Andrew Peaple, deputy Asia finance editor for the Wall Street Journal, and from North Carolina by August Turak, entrepreneur and author of The Business Secrets of Trappist Monks.
