Hurricane Ian leaves trail of destruction in its wake

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Mehmal Sarfraz, Co-founder The Current PK, in Lahore, and Hayley Woodin, executive editor of Business in Vancouver, join Will Bain for global economic discussion. We're in Puerto Rico and the US to hear about the devastation that Hurricane Ian is leaving, as thousands of people are without power. Our panel discuss former UN climate change chief Christiana Figueres' suggestion that Pakistan should receive climate reparations. We also hear from the Los Angeles Times' Middle East Editor, Nabih Bulos, on Afghanistan's problem with its cash - the notes are disintegrating.
