Muhammad Yunus takes oath as leader of Bangladesh

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus is sworn in as leader of Bangladesh’s interim government days after Former Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina fled across the border to India. We get the latest. As US voters prepare to elect their new president, the cost of housing remains one of the main topics in the agenda. We take a look at the challenges Americans face to get on the property ladder. And Nasa is rushing to bring back to Earth two astronauts who blasted off on a test mission to the International Space Station, and whose spaceship is now considered unsafe for the trip back home. We hear how Elon Musk’s SpaceX might have the solution to Nasa’s problem. Roger Hearing discusses these and more business stories with two guests on opposite sides of the world: Zyma Islam, a journalist for The Daily Star in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Alexander Kaufman, a senior reporter with the Huffington Post in New York.
