Senator Al Franken to Resign Over Sex Claims

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The Democrat will quit his post following allegations of misconduct. We get reaction from Politico reporter Daniel Lippman from Capitol Hill. We hear how one black woman is making waves in the South African wine industry, plus Melinda Gates tells us why contraception in developing countries is so important. Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by David Kuo of the Motley Fool in Singapore, and Mary Anne Hitt of the Sierra Club environmental campaign group in Washington. (Picture: Sen.
