Boeing to pay $2.5bn over 737 Max safety failings

Available for over a year

Plane maker Boeing is to pay $2.5bn to settle a criminal charge over safety failings. The BBC's Theo Leggett explains the background, and we get the response of Zipporah Kuria, whose father was one of those killed when two Boeing 737 Max planes crashed in quick succession. Also in the programme, we have a report from the BBC's Thomas Naadi in Accra on Ghana's economic situation, as clashes between lawmakers broke out ahead of the swearing in of President Nana Akufo-Addo for a second term in office. And we get wider context from Dr John Asafu-Adjaye, at the African Center for Economic Transformation in Accra. Plus, Elon Musk, the space pioneer and electric car guru, now ranks as the world's richest person, thanks to a surge in the value of shares in his company Tesla. In an interview from 2014, we hear what drove him to take on some of the world's most technologically challenging projects, and how he feels about the wealth he's accumulated over the years.
