Barclays Bank is under fire over Somalia as it tries to safeguard against money laundering. And, can the messy business of divorce be simplified?

Barclays Bank is under fire over its decision to halt money transfer services in Somalia. It says it is guarding against money laundering. But how will this decision affect ordinary Somalis who rely on money sent from abroad?

Also, we hear from Liberia where farmers says they have been pushed out by palm oil - and from Indonesia where they say clearing for palm oil is creating a smoking wasteland. Our guest in Singapore, financial analyst David Kuo, from the website Motley Fool, tells us how bad the haze is.
