Where next for Lebanon?

Available for over a year

After weeks of street protests over Lebanon's economy, we ask where next for the country? Aya Issa is one of the owners of fuel importer Issa Petrol Trade, and tells us that whilst recent events have complicated her business, she's proud of the unity on show in the country. Sami Halabi is a former financial journalist and the founder of Triangle development consultancy, and is critical of the role the banks have played in Lebanon's economic crisis. But Nassib Ghobril, chief economist at Lebanon's third biggest bank, Byblos, feels the sector has been unfairly picked on. And we get wider perspective from three Lebanese business people currently living in London. Also in the programme, a BBC investigation has revealed how a common practice among airlines may be significantly increasing carbon emissions for the industry. The BBC's chief environment correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, brings us the story. Plus as China's annual shopping event, Singles Day, is expected to smash all sales records, plastics campaigner Tang Damin from Greenpeace in Beijing talks us through concerns over the volume of packaging used by China's e-commerce and express delivery industries.
