BBC World Service - Business Matters, Pressure grows on Canadian PM

A series of resignations from the Canadian government have caused a major crisis.

A series of resignations from the government of prime minister Justin Trudeau have caused a major crisis. It all centres on a construction firm - one of the biggest companies in Canada - LNC Lavalin. It has been claimed the company bribed officials in Libya, and Trudeau's government then put illegitimate pressure on prosecutors not to take the company to court. Robert Fife, Ottawa Bureau Chief of the Globe and Mail newspaper, gives us the latest. A man who died in India last week took with him the secret entry code to the $137m deposited in digital wallets by his customers. The code has been cracked, but there's no money, as we hear from the BBC's technology reporter Zoe Kleinman. Kylie Jenner is now officially the world's youngest self-made billionaire. So how did she do it? A question for Natalie Robehmed of Forbes magazine. Plus, the Pritzker architecture prize has been awarded to 87 year old Arata Isozaki, designer of very eccentric buildings. Dr Julian Worrall of the School of Architecture at the University of Adelaide gives us an insight into Isozaki's work.

All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: Simon Littlewood, president AC Growth Delivered, in Singapore, and Varshini Prakash, co founder and Executive Director of Sunrise, a movement of young people working to stop climate change in Boston.
