Sudanese Defy Military Curfew

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Sudanese protesters continuing to defy a military curfew, rejecting a two-year imposition of martial law. Robots are in Walmart’s shopping aisles - but are the shiny new cleaners and stock-checkers killing off jobs for low-skilled humans? And India's massive election sequence is underway; we'll assess the success of Day One. We discuss all this with guests Sushma Ramachandran - former Business Editor at The Hindu - in Delhi and Paddy Hirsch from National Public Radio in the US.
