BBC World Service - Business Matters, King Charles III cancer diagnosis

King Charles III begins treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

Buckingham Palace says King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, and he began his treatment on Monday.

Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles is being treated for cancer. The specific type of disease has not been revealed, but a spokesperson confirmed it was not prostate cancer. Ed Butler gets the latest update on the monarchy. 

We look at the impact of natural disasters both old and new - from this year’s Chilean wildfires to last year's devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

And how do you cope if you're late for a job interview? We find out what the best excuse is. 

Ed will be joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the world, Yoko Ishikura – Professor Emeritus, Hitotsubashi University in Japan and Oliver Stuenkel - Professor of International Politics at the Getulio Vargas Foundation in São Paulo, Brazil.
