Depressing UK growth, oil theft in the Niger Delta, and cooking for world leaders.

Depressing UK growth, oil theft in the Niger Delta, and cooking for world leaders with Roger Hearing. Round-up of the day's news with Robin Lustig.

Depressing UK growth figures, but what hope for recovery in Britain without global expansion? We talk to former US trade secretary Robert Reich; Billions of dollars 'lost' to the Nigerian economy through the theft of oil from the Niger Delta, the BBC's Will Ross reports from an illicit refinery inside the Delta; and cooking for the world's leaders: revealing the dietary secrets of our rulers, tonight with Roger Hearing.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
