ASEAN summit quandry

BBC World Service - World Business Report, ASEAN summit quandry

Tuesday's meeting has already run into controversy after the group excluded Myanmar

The 10 member countries of the ASEAN group of nations, like Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam will hold a summit in Brunei this week. But Tuesday's meeting has already run into controversy, after the group excluded Myanmar, amid concerns about the military rulers undermining democracy. Countries in South East Asia are also wary of taking sides in the economic and political standoff between China and the United States and Beijing's growing dominance in the region is causing concern.

Also in the programme, why are more Americans buying homes in areas where the risk of wild weather is greater?

Plus, the expansion of Russian energy exploration in the Arctic.

And - in China the police have adopted an unusual method of encouraging senior citizens to recognise fraud. Officers give lessons in how to avoid becoming a victim of a scam, but then test the older people on what they've learned in class, with those who pass offered free products from a local supermarket.
