British Prime Minister in Africa

World Business Report

Available for over a year

British investment in Africa - there's certainly history there, but is there a future? As British Prime Minister Theresa May makes her first official visit to the continent, we look at how the two powers can get closer. Women in India are entering the traditionally male realm of rickshaw driving - the BBC's Vivienne Nunis has been there to speak to them. And as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival comes to a close and the comedy fans go home, we look at the aftermath of such huge events and look at the problem of too much tourism. Might a tourism tax regulate crowds and prices? (Image: Theresa May in South Africa. Credit: Rodger Bosch / AFP / Getty Images)
