Trump Muslim Ban Call Sparks Outrage

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Trump Muslim Ban Call Sparks Outrage

We ask whether it will hurt his numerous business interests in the Middle East.

Donald Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from the US receives global condemnation, but will it also hurt his current and future business interests in the Middle East?

US Presidential candidate Donald Trump's call for a ban on Muslims being allowed into the United States has received widespread political and religious condemnation. Could it also hurt his business interests in the Middle East, such as his golf course in Dubai, capital of the predominantly Muslim United Arab Emirates? We speak to David Sirota from the International Business Times.

While representatives from around the world meet in Paris to negotiate a deal on climate change, life in the countries most effected by global warming struggles on. The BBC's science editor David Shukman reports from Namibia in southern Africa - a country in the grip of a severe drought.

Money for nothing: Finland is running an experiment offering a free monthly payout to citizens - better known as universal basic income - regardless of their salary or employment situation, to see if it will encourage people back to work. Roger Bootle, Managing Director of Capital Economics give us his view.

And does Adele owe her latest hit to a thirty year old Kurdish pop song?

Throughout the programme we're joined by Shing Chow, founder of the services company lalamove in Hong Kong and Ben Johnson of our sister programme Marketplace in New York.
