Hurricane Irma Wreaks Havoc in Caribbean

Available for over a year

The hurricane is on a potential collision course with Cuba and southern Florida. Our reporter in Cuba tells us how people on the island are preparing. Also in the programme, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator says he's concerned about the lack of progress in talks with the UK. Our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics offers a view on whether there can ever be a successful outcome for both sides. We have a report from Abidjan in the Ivory Coast on a bid to expand food production across Africa, and hear from Kenya about hopes to make cassava root a popular gluten-free source of carbohydrates. Plus we hear from music journalist Adam Sherwin of the I newspaper why the UK music industry is proving a huge hit around the world. (Picture: St Martin damaged by Hurricane Irma.
